Here, we report our pilot efforts to perform rapid screening of anti-infective drugs for confirmation of drug product quality using near-infrared (NIR) and Raman library methods. The methods reported are nondestructive toward the sample and are designed to facilitate rapid physical testing of drugs at the point of use or in a field setting.
