FT-NIR Technology: Precision and Efficiency in Pharmaceutical and Cosmetics Applications

In the pharmaceutical and cosmetics industries, precision and efficiency are critical in ensuring product quality and compliance with stringent regulations. Fourier Transform Near-Infrared (FT-NIR) technology has emerged as a fast, reliable, and cost-effective solution for a wide range of analytical applications. With its ability to provide rapid and non-destructive analysis, FT-NIR has become an indispensable tool for manufacturers seeking to maintain high standards while optimizing production processes.

Analysis of Ibuprofen Tablets Using FT-NIR

A recent study involved the analysis of ibuprofen tablets, which featured an acrylic coating and a strongly curved shape. These tablets measured approximately 12 mm in diameter, 7 mm in thickness, and weighed around 600 mg each. The analysis was conducted using FT-NIR in transmission mode with an external detector to ensure precise measurement.

The reference value for the active ibuprofen content in each tablet, expressed as a percentage by weight, was determined by dividing the initial weight of the active ingredient per batch by the total number of tablets produced. This value was then further refined by calculating the total average weight of tablets within the same batch. This method ensured consistency and accuracy in determining the drug's potency across the production process.
