Spectroscopy has become an indispensable requirement across various industries, including R&D, medical, food, and beverage. To know its principle and application in different fields becomes need of employment also. In the pharmaceutical sector, spectroscopy plays a crucial role at every stage of manufacturing, from assessing raw materials to formulation, ensuring accurate determination of constituent concentrations. Additionally, it now focuses on examining the distribution and structural composition of pharmaceutical products. Moreover, spectroscopy finds application in quality control, where it helps verify strict compliance with regulatory standards during both production processes and final product evaluation.
FTIR spectrometers have a long history as one of the earliest optical spectroscopy technologies and have been extensively employed in laboratories for over 70 years to study materials. Remarkably reliable, FTIR spectroscopy can identify virtually any molecule and is sensitive enough to detect even the tiniest impurities. Due to this high level of trustworthiness, pharmaceutical companies often rely on it, and customers tend to exhibit a loyal attitude of "if it's not broken, don't fix it.
This book will give comprehensive and accessible introduction to the spectroscopy, catering to students, researchers and professionals alike. It covers the fundamental principles, techniques, and application of spectroscopy, making it an indispensable resource for those seeking to understand the science behind this powerful analytical tool. Spectroscopy is the study of how matter interacts with light. The book elucidates the fundamental concepts of light-matter interactions, including absorption, emission, and scattering phenomena. By exploring these interactions, readers gain insight into the underlying physical and chemical processes that occur in diverse materials, from atoms and molecules to complex biological systems and celestial objects. One of the primary applications of spectroscopy is the identification and analysis of materials. The book presents various spectroscopic techniques, such as infrared, ultraviolet-visible, nuclear magnetic resonance, and mass spectrometry, flow cytometry, FTIR, empowering readers to identify unknown substances accurately and study their structural and compositional characteristics. Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) has emerged as a fast and non-destructive method capable of performing multi-component analysis on a diverse range of substances. Over the past few years, NIR spectroscopy has garnered significant recognition in the pharmaceutical industry for its utility in testing raw materials, ensuring product quality, and monitoring various processes.
In recent decades, the world has witnessed technological development in drug discovery and environmental sustainability by continuous demand for latest technology. Besides recent technological advancement and scientific endeavors, policy makers and environmental management organizations are not considering the spectroscopic technology for improving the organized efforts in dealing with drug discovery and sustainability. Furthermore, a combine technique to remediate all important spectroscopic technique from drug discovery are not really been made by the scientific community as well. The proposed book is an effort to enlist and document the various aspects of spectroscopy in drug discovery and environmental sustainability.
