Fourier Transform Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-NIR)

Thermo Scientific NIR and FT-NIR analyzers set the standard for process and quality control analytics through intuitive operation and a unique combination of performance, power, and support.

Fourier transform near-Infrared spectroscopy (FT-NIR) has been widely used in the pharmaceutical industry as a rapid alternative to time-consuming, solvent intensive, wet-chemistry methods and chromatographic techniques (HPLC, GC). Rely on NIR to quickly verify incoming raw materials, monitor reaction progress, and quantify final product formulation with ease.

Use FT-NIR spectroscopy for these applications:
-Raw material identification
-PAT for on-line or in-line process monitoring
-Tablet content uniformity and coating analysis
-Lyophilized material quality verification
-Hot-melt extrusion blend consistency
-Fermentation and cell culture monitoring

NIR plays an important role in implementing quality by design (QbD) principles that ensure your product is compliant and meets performance specifications. With the move to continuous manufacturing NIR is an ideal process analytical technology (PAT) that minimizes risk and reduces costs to your organization. As a QA/QC solution, use NIR spectroscopy to quickly verify active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) and excipients as well as for final tablet release testing.
