Malvern supplies chemical imaging for wafer tests

A Malvern Instruments product story
Edited by the Processingtalk editorial team Nov 9, 2009

Malvern Instruments has supplied a Near Infrared Chemical Imaging (NIR-CI) system to researchers at the Institute of Pharmaceutics and Biopharmaceutics at Dusseldorf University in Germany.

Able to deliver rapid, robust and flexible spatial and chemical information, the Sapphire system was selected for its wide sampling dynamic range and depth of field.

Suitable for analysing curved tablets, whole granules and pellets, the instrument is to be used in the Institute's solid drug dosage form projects.

The system is being used for testing oral drug-loaded films, also called wafers, in a project designed to tackle the difficulties of administering drugs to young children.

The Malvern chemical imaging system plays a critical role within the morphological investigation as it can depict visually unrecognised differences in the distribution of the active pharmaceutical ingredient within wafers.
