The rise in the sale and distribution of fake drugs is very well documented.
At Contact Traces we offer our unique blend of skills to companies and agencies in the forefront of the fight against the sale of counterfeit drugs.
Central to our service in this area is our expertise in the mapping of tablets by Raman microspectroscopy and FTIR microspectroscopy. Mapping tablets using these techniques not only identifies counterfeit tablets, but also can assist in identifying sources of batches of the fake tablets through the analysis of the type and distribution of excipients. Our services range from the analysis of the single tablet for identification of counterfeit materials, to analysis of large consignments for comparison purposes.
Raman and FTIR mapping provides information that no other technique can.
“…the ability to selectively present the significant information from many thousands of spectra in a visual manner cannot be underestimated…the unique information that can solve problems and instill confidence in pharmaceutical product performance is invaluable…”
