Webinar: Raman Spectroscopy — An Evolving Technique, Webinar By Dr. David Bugay
From my experience, I have found that approximately >90% of pharmaceutical materials, including APIs, API intermediates, API impurities, and excipients are Raman active. In some cases, fluorescence may be generated during the Raman experiment but typically this background signal does not prevent the use of the Raman features for the particular analytical task.
