Since the completion of the first edition of this book, major developments have occurred in the pharmaceutical industry that have shaped the field of near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy. A new initiative from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to modernize regulations of pharmaceutical manufacturing and drug quality has helped position NIR spectroscopy as an effective tool for pharmaceutical testing. Pharmaceutical and Medical Applications of Near-Infrared Spectroscopy: Second Edition reflects these developments and brings readers an up-to-date summary of how this technique is being applied to pharmaceutical manufacturing.Topics include: The origins and principles of NIR spectroscopy, including early instrumentation, spectroscopic theory, and light-particle interactionThe physics of each instrument type, the strengths and weaknesses of each, and the manufacturers that produce themThe possible advantages of using NIR methods for monitoring or controlling blending, as well as practical concerns for mixing processesNIR spectroscopy as applied to traditional granulation, drug layering, and film coating of beads or granulesPharmaceutical assays, including qualitative analysis, quantitative analysis, determination of actives in tablets and capsules, and considerations for intact dosage form analysisSteps involved in the validation and acceptance of an NIR spectroscopy method, including quality assurance, qualification and verification of instruments, and the International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) guidelinesMedical applications, including those related to blood glucose measurements, tissue and major organ analysis, fetal analysis, and cancer research Providing comprehensive coverage of NIR spectroscopy, from theory, mathematics, application, and mechanics of NIR analysis, the book supplies ample references to facilitate further rese

Rapid, inexpensive, and easy-to-deploy, near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy can be used to analyze samples of virtually any composition, origin, and condition. The Handbook of Near Infrared Analysis, Fourth Edition, explores the factors necessary to perform accurate and time- and cost-effective analyses across a growing spectrum of disciplines. This updated and expanded edition incorporates the latest advances in instrumentation, computerization, chemometrics applied to NIR spectroscopy, and method development in NIR spectroscopy, and underscores current trends in sample preparation, calibration transfer, process control, data analysis, instrument performance testing, and commercial NIR instrumentation. This work offers readers an unparalleled combination of theoretical foundations, cutting-edge applications, and practical experience.Additional features include the following: Explains how to perform accurate as well as time- and cost-effective analyses. Reviews software-enabled chemometric methods and other trends in data analysis. Highlights novel applications in pharmaceuticals, polymers, plastics, petrochemicals, textiles, foods and beverages, baked products, agricultural products, biomedicine, nutraceuticals, and counterfeit detection. Underscores current trends in sample preparation, calibration transfer, process control, data analysis, and multiple aspects of commercial NIR instrumentation.Offering the most complete single-source guide of its kind, the Handbook of Near Infrared Analysis, Fourth Edition, continues to offer practicing chemists and spectroscopists an unparalleled combination of theoretical foundations, cutting-edge applications, and detailed practical experience provided firsthand by more than 50 experts in the field.

The top tools, tips, and techniques of the last decade --at yourcommand. This book compiles and updates the best articles to date from theeleven-year history of Spectroscopy magazine's successful"Molecular Spectroscopy Workbench" column. From the fundamentals ofimportant techniques to novel time- and money-saving ideas, itdraws from a broad spectrum of recent developments in the field ofmolecular spectroscopy, including information on:* Near and midrange infrared techniques* Optical rotation/circular dichroism* UV/Vis and fluorescence* Mass spectrometry* Acousto-optic tunable filters (AOTFs)* Fiber optics* Miscellaneous techniques and new hardware. Articles have been updated where necessary to reflect advances madesince their initial publication, and are arranged into sectionsthat cover basic spectroscopic theory, applications,troubleshooting, and product/ conference reviews. Carefully assembled by long-term Spectroscopy columnist EmilCiurczak, this accessible collection is an excellent practicalresource for analytical chemists and others who use spectroscopy intheir work.
