Near-infrared
spectroscopy (NIRS) is a popularly applied Process Analytical Technology (PAT) tool,
due its non-invasive and non-destructive nature, high versatility and
reliability, as well as its broad applicability and cost-effectiveness. By
adding spatial information, near-infrared chemical imaging (NIR-CI) adds value
to benchtop NIR analysis, allowing to visualize the distribution of chemical
components across the surface or volume of a sample. In the meantime, the fast
acquisition speeds may transform the technology into an attractive tool for
high-throughput in-line applications. In this course, the basics of NIRS and
NIR-CI will be briefly tackled, before digging into more detail in the
instrumentation, (dis)advantages and applications of the technology. Case
studies from the pharmaceutical industry will be presented and discussed in
detail, both on an R&D and an industrial manufacturing level.
This course will be facilitated by Davinia Brouckaert, Indatech
This one day course is offered prior to the APACT 25 conference.
