Contamination Analysis of Tablets Using the Shimadzu Infrared Raman Microscope

The white paper demonstrates how the integrated AIRsight Infrared Raman Microscope helps quality analysts quickly and reliably identify contaminants on tablets. By simultaneously capturing IR and Raman spectra at the exact same measurement point, misclassifications are minimized and small, hard-to-see particles are reliably detected - including inorganic contaminants that are often overlooked in single-method analyses. The combined workflow reduces sample handling, shortens measurement times, and lowers the risk of measurement errors. It improves the traceability of analyses and accelerates root cause analyses in the event of complaints. This results in reduced production downtime, faster decision-making in quality management, and greater confidence in batch release. Ideal for final product inspections, defect investigation, and forensic analysis.
