Presentation of near-infrared chemical
imaging
A new presentation shows how SyNIRgi, the powerful Malvern Instruments near infrared chemical imaging (NIR-CI) system, can provide the data and product understanding required for Quality by Design
The presentation can be downloaded free of charge from the web Entitled 'Near infrared imaging of pharmaceuticals and Quality by Design', it looks at how this measurement technology can help answer the questions of "What? How much? And Where?"

Understanding agrochemical spray behaviour
The Arable Group using Spraytec droplet size analyzer from Malvern Instruments to improve understanding of agrochemical spray behaviour.
It presents a variety of applications in the pharmaceutical industry and a discussion of how to derive statistically meaningful, reproducible and quantitative results.
SyNIRgi rapidly identifies, quantifies and locates chemical species within a sample.
This information provides valuable insight into product performance, optimising design space definition and specification setting.
Analytical times are short and no sample preparation is required, making the system an excellent 'go to' option for QbD related studies.
With SyNIRgi a researcher can track water gradients in a tablet during hydration, rather than simply monitoring average water content.
The distribution of active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) can be studied to assess the efficacy of blending or interactions with excipients.
Coating quality - thickness, homogeneity - can be statistically measured.
In each case the result is greater product and process understanding.
SyNIRgi is fully automated with the capability to analyse powders, granules, tablets or complete blister packs, in minutes.
In excess of 80,000 spectra are collected from across the surface of the sample for each measurement.
