Modern process analytical technologies (PAT), a recent initiative of the U.S. Food & Drug Administration, are helping to move pharmaceutical manufactures to more scientifically rigorous production monitoring standards. Bruker Optics has developed methods to use near-infrared (NIR) analysis to meet these standards, and in a recent white paper details how a MATRIX-F instrument can determine moisture/solvent content during the common practice of drying powder in a fluid bed.
