An ATR method is given for the examination of pharmaceuticals in the solid state as a layer of crystals on adhesive tape. Representative spectra are chosen to compare with, and to indicate advantages over, disc and mull techniques. Application of the method to pharmaceutical formulations is illustrated by the direct spectral identification of amodiaquine hydrochloride in tablet formulation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
