Near-infrared spectroscopy has grown up and moved from the lab to its own place
For decades, near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy has been an invaluable tool within the laboratory and, interestingly, despite all the excellent instrumentation and technologies introduced for process control, NIR is still the most popular and mature technique available. This article will discuss the impact of NIR in pharmaceuticals from the perspective of…

Whitepaper: A high-quality Raman microscope can be recognised by these five criteria
90 years ago Chandrasekhara Venkata Raman and Kariamanickam Srinivasa Krishnan first documented "A New Type of Secondary Radiation," which then became known as the Raman Effect [1, 2]. Raman spectroscopy is based on this effect and is used for qualitative and quantitative analysis of the chemical components and molecules of…
