概述：

　　Raman spectroscopy is an established technique for identifying and differentiating pharmaceutical polymorphs. Polymorphs play a crucial role in drug development and quality control in the pharmaceutical industry. Raman spectroscopy has many advantages over other analytical techniques to allow polymorphs to be rapidly qualified and located. Perhaps the most important areas where such information is crucial, are:

　　• High throughput screening (HTS)

　　• Identification and characterisation

　　• Low concentration distribution within formulations

　　This application note illustrates how using Renishaw’s inVia Raman microscope can be applied to all of these 　　areas and the real benefit such information can provide in conjunction with other complementary techniques.
