Spectroscopy

Spectroscopy can be used to achieve repeatable, high throughput analysis for impurities, dosage, and stability in finished drug products or raw ingredients. Spectroscopy is a broad term which encompass disciplines such as Raman spectrometers and other techniques including gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS) and liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC–MS). In this spectroscopy hub, you can find coverage on the latest pharmaceutical spectroscopy trends, webinars, and products.
