A Brief Review on NIR Spectroscopy and its Pharmaceutical Applications

Abstract

Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is fast, non-destructive analytical method hence NIRS is suitable for analysis of solid, liquid and pharmaceutical forms. NIRS can also be implemented during pharmaceutical development, for production by process monitoring or in QC laboratories. Based on the principle and range of electromagnetic radiation spectroscopy is classified into several types. In the following review various aspects of NIR its introduction, principle, instrumentation, and its application in pharmaceutical industry have been implemented.
