Characterize and control
The pharmaceutical industry has always depended on a range of analysis technologies. In recent years, an increasing regulatory burden and the need to understand complex formulations has stimulated the need for additional, insightful data - preferably gained with non-destructive techniques. Technology developments such as the ultra-fast detectors and groundbreaking analysis software pioneered by PANalytical have allowed X-ray techniques to expand their role such that today, both XRD and XRF are recognized as adding value in many areas of drug discovery, development, manufacturing and quality control.
