Growth of near-infrared spectroscopy in pharmaceutical and medical sciences

Near-IR Spectroscopy (NIRS) is used extensively in the health services industries: medical research, pharmaceutical production, and bioprocessing. NIRS Is rugged, simple to operate, flexible, and relatively inexpensive. It may be used to monitor the progress biochemical reactions. It is used to control mixing, blending, drying, and coating in pharmaceutical production and is used for imaging and chemical determinations in living patients.
