This study describes a validated spectrofluorometric method for the analysis of L-amlodipine in tablets.

We examine vapor-phase Raman spectroscopy through the acquisition of spectra from gas molecules confined to the headspace.

Examples are shown that highlight how elemental fingerprinting could provide valuable information about the geographical origin of a food or beverage as well as how different steps in the production of wines impact their elemental composition.

Now that we have shown the relationships between different units for concentration, we continue by demonstrating their effects on the data we collected and used for our examples. What are the ramifications and consequences of these findings?

Lynne Taylor of the Department of Industrial and Physical Pharmacy at Purdue University discusses her research using Raman and IR spectroscopy to study drugs and drug excipients as well as her research with crystallization and studying the physicochemical properties of drug-rich nanodroplets.

A closer look at the U.S. Pharmacopeial Convention's (USP) draft general chapter <1029> on good documentation practices.
