Nondestructive Single Tablet Analysis Using the NIRS XDS Rapid Content Analyzer
28 Aug 2014This application note demonstrates the potential of NIRS as a rapid (< 30 s) and nondestructive screening tool for solid dosage forms. NIRS requires neither sample preparation nor solvent use. Interferences that derive from scattering are minimized by converting to second derivative spectra.

Near Infrared SpectroscopyNear-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy measures the interaction of near-infrared light with a sample, including transmission, reflectance and absorbance, facilitating the identification of analytes. Measurements can be conducted using a Fourier-transform near infrared (FT-NIR) spectrometer, while there are also UV-Vis- NIR spectrophotometers that measure a broader spectrum of wavelengths.
