Abstract:This study aimed to characterise by near infrared (NIR) spectroscopy the physical parameters that are relevant to the quality of a pharmaceutical blend, such as mean particle size of a granular material, incompatibilities between particle size of the blend components and segregation tendencies. Binary blends consisting of granulated material (96% m/m) and an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) (4% m/m) were prepared. Granule particle size was studied using the Kubelka–Munk function. In addition, NIR spectro… Show more
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.
