Terahertz in the Pharmaceutical Industry
Pharma Innovations
TeraView has successfully applied its proprietary terahertz imaging and spectroscopy technology to increase pharmaceutical product and process understanding as an effective part of the Quality by Design initiative.
Working with our TeraView Pharma Innovations team, or through direct purchase of a terahertz instrument, we can develop predictive models that allow you to speed your product through R&D and successful product transfer.
Once in manufacture, TeraView is uniquely positioned to offer 21CFR part 11 compliant terahertz instruments to monitor and ensure compliant product. Recent advances in TeraView technology has demonstrated its capability to non-destructively collect information at speed from tablets in random motion to ultimately be used for in-line control.
The active use of terahertz technology has recently been supported by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) who commented that "the speed and ease of terahertz imaging may make it an attractive potential replacement for wet dissolution testing both in product development and eventually for process analysis" (Spencer, J.A., J Pharm Sci 2007).
