Our wide-field Chemical Imaging products and services are uniquely suited to help solve the complex problems facing today’s pharmaceutical companies. Modern drug development and processing strategies can be accomplished with greater speed and precision through the use of ChemImage’s wide-field hyperspectral.
For example: ChemImage’s instrumentation is installed in the FDA laboratory where company and FDA scientists are working together to develop validated, reliable Chemical Imaging methodologies and solutions. Recently, scientists at the FDA and ChemImage co-authored a publication on the use of “Raman Chemical Imaging for Ingredient-Specific Particle Size Characterization of Aqueous Suspension Nasal Spray Formulations.”
ChemImage’s widefield Chemical Imaging instrumentation is providing solutions for the following Pharmaceutical application areas:
- Ingredient-specific particle sizing of nasal sprays or other metered dose forms
- Ingredient-specific particle sizing of emulsions and suspensions
- 2D/3D blend uniformity of polymers
- Identification and discrimination of polymorphs
- Blend uniformity and particle sizing of tablets
- Layer / coating chemical identity, thickness uniformity and interfacial chemistries of controlled-release systems
- 3D chemical composition profiling of stents and other drug / polymer systems
- Percent composition determination of active and inactive ingredients
- Spectral identification and spectral mixture analysis
- Chemical identification / comparison
- Amorphicity, crystallinity, orientation and strain
- Non-invasive imaging through packaging; (e.g. blister packs, glass containers, plastic bags)
- Dynamic (time-dependent) Chemical Imaging; e.g., dissolution, crystallization, phase change
