Terahertz Spectroscopy in Pharmaceutical Sciences

Faculty: Axel Zeitler, TeraView, UK

Please contact assa for information about available dates and location

 Terahertz spectroscopy is a necessary tool in the characterization of pharmaceutical API's, formulations, and finished products. This seminar provides the fundamentals to understand the techniques, interpret spectra, and optimize spectroscopic measurements specific to pharmaceutical challenges.

Who Will Benefit:
The seminar is designed to especially benefit solid-state characterization scientists and engineers in the pharmaceutical industry from the following areas:

  • Pharmaceutical Research, Development and Production
  • Ethical and Generic Pharmaceutical Production
  • Excipient/Chemical Production
  • Compounding Pharmacists
  • Analytical Laboratories

Terahertz Spectroscopy:

  • General Introduction about Vibrational spectroscopy in the far IR
  • Setup of a terahertz spectrometer, comparison with a conventional FT far IR spectrometer setup.
    • Instrument setup in transmission, reflection and ATR
    • Application of terahertz pulsed spectroscopy (TPS) to study the crystalline state, polymorphism, amorphous state
    • Application of TPS to study different hydrate forms
    • Application of TDS in kinetic studies
    • Application of TPS for low temperature spectroscopy
  • Setup of a terahertz pulsed imaging (TPI) system
    • Application of TPI for coating thickness and quality analysis
    • Application of TPI to non destructively investigate buried structures in tablets.
