Abstract :

The increasing demand for the better healthcare products has changed the pharmaceutical industry. In the recent years, the technologies producing the quality products have paved the way for good quality products. The introduction of new tools and technologies has provided an opportunity for the pharmaceutical producers to improve the quality standards of the product. PAT is one of the technologies in pharmaceutical production where they test out the quality of the raw materials, characterize them both physically and chemically, through at-line, in-line or on-line. PAT saves time and money required for testing and analyzing the products. The PAT paves the way for making good quality products thus satisfies the customers needs and build a good brand image for the organization. The two effective tools NIR and RAMAN spectroscopy are used in testing the quality of the products. This research essay delves the essentials of PAT and the usefulness of process analyzers in process monitoring. The effectiveness of the PAT tools and the advantages of NIR over RAMAN spectroscopy are clearly discussed.
