Pharmaceutical and Nutraceutical

Pharmaceutical spectroscopy provides valuable insight into the identity and composition of materials used throughout drug and supplement development. StellarNet systems support Raman and NIR pharmaceutical analysis for raw material identification, ingredient verification, and quality control. These techniques can also help researchers evaluate formulations and distinguish materials during development and manufacturing. Nutraceutical analysis and supplement testing provide similar opportunities to verify ingredients and monitor product consistency. With flexible spectroscopy systems and chemometric tools, StellarNet helps laboratories collect reliable measurements for research, formulation, and manufacturing QC.
