Chemical imaging / Pharmaceutical sciences applications

Mapping drug distribution in pharmaceutical products:

You are a chemical scientist and you want to image in a label-free manner chemical compounds in complex formulation or pharmaceutical tablets. Lightcore Technologies DC-CRS microscope provides a versatile and tunable platform to image chemical compounds through their vibrational signatures [500cm^-1, 4000cm^-1].

DC-CRS microscope: Image of pharmaceutical tablet containing three excipients (PEG, Manitol, Starch) and two polymorph active molecules (A-F1 and A-F2).
