Description:
Micro-Raman spectroscopy is a powerful tool for local chemical fingerprinting. It can be employed to characterise the active drug as well as to identify and spatially map excipient materials (titanium dioxide whitening pigment in the case of ibuprofen). Raman can additionally determine the degree of crystallinity, hydration and the polymorphic state of crystals (Copyright QinetiQ).
