near-fi eld IR spectroscopy

Non-destructive testing of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs using near-field infrared spectroscopy method

The use of near-infrared spectroscopy for quality control of nonsteroidal anti-infl ammatory drugs (NSAIDs) in blister packs is demonstrated. NSAIDs with the active ingredients ibuprofen, diclofenac, naproxen, etoricoxib, acetylsalicylic acid and meloxicam have been studied. IR spectra have been recorded using a Frontier FTIR spectrometer with a NIRA attachment, used to collect diff use refl ectance spectra of solids.
