Technology Terahertz Imaging Protection strategy Product authentication Type Analytical technique System Laboratory based Medium Medicine (solid form) Authentication/Identificaton Authentication Traceability No Cost Price on request Required equipment Terahertz imaging apparatus Vertification level Laboratories N.B. Description Terahertz imaging is a non destructive technique for analyzing pharmaceutical products even through packaging. Terahertz radiation can penetrate into and through a number of materials, such as polymers, ceramics, and amorphous pharmaceutical excipients. Also many crystalline materials have characteristic spectral features in terahertz range. Image or chemical data can be extracted from the reflected or transmitted radiation. Recently, terahertz radiation has been used in pharmaceutical applications such as polymorph identification and quantification, phase transition monitoring, and hydrate forms. Strengths Non destructive technique; Identification of substances; Can be used through packaging; No sample preparation; Can be used for profiling; Allow imaging of solid dosage forms which allow comparison of coatings and layers in the formulation; Limitations Cost; Requires equipment + formation; Not portable for now; Need to build a library of reference spectra; Links:
