Pharma Applications of THz-Raman Quantitative Analysis
This structural and phase information can be particularly important in pharma applications, but it previously required cumbersome sample prep and the use of more complex off-line methods such as powder x-ray diffraction (PXRD). THz-Raman systems now can be used as standalone instruments or integrated with existing conventional Raman instruments to increase their sensitivity in the low wavenumber region. They are available for use with immersion probes, as benchtop instruments for sample vials, as microscope accessories, and integrated in well plate readers for high throughput screening applications. There are numerous applications in the pharmaceutical industry, and this white paper examines some representative applications selected to highlight the breadth of THz-Raman utility for pharma.
