Abstract :
Terahertz pulsed imaging is now used for routine non-destructive testing of pharmaceutical products. The technique provides valuable information about a tablet´s coating uniformity and can provide additional information about its core. Terahertz pulsed spectroscopy is a powerful technique in the analysis of polymorphic forms as terahertz region of the electromagnetic spectrum probes intermolecular interactions in the crystalline form.
