Raman Analysis to Detect Counterfeit Drugs
Raman spectroscopy can very quickly identify and characterize the active pharmaceutical ingredient inside a pill. Below is a short summary of our current drug database. Spectra for the different drugs are displayed to the right in a single 7 page pdf (click on picture to open pdf). A spectral drug database can be used to detect counterfeit drugs or as a method of validating that the correct dosage/API is in the proper vial.
