CHALLENGE:
Advanced drug delivery systems, faced a critical challenge in determining the localization of API within their microparticles. The effectiveness of their drug delivery systems relied on knowing whether API were encapsulated within the microparticles or present on their surface. This information is crucial for ensuring the intended release profiles and efficacy of the drugs.
SOLUTION:
To detect the specific Raman peaks associated with the API interest. Raman mapping was performed to obtain spatially resolved spectra from different areas of the microparticles. This process involved scanning the surface and cross-sections to create detailed maps of API distribution.
- Distribution of components in the drug
- Characterization of Drug-Excipient Interactions
