Hyperspectral Imaging in the Pharmaceutical Industry (PAT)
With the growing emphasis on quality control in the pharmaceutical industry, Process Analytical Technology (PAT) has become an essential tool. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has been supporting the Pharmaceutical Quality for the 21st Century Initiative for years, leading to an increasing demand for continuous manufacturing (CM) and real-time quality monitoring. In the Benelux, too, we see a strong advance of this technological innovation, with modern spectroscopic techniques, such as hyperspectral imaging (HSI), increasingly being used for quality assurance.
