Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy is an excellent analytical tool, that can rapidly determine important quality parameters. During formulation and development of oral thin film, FT-IR is used to measure and examine infrared spectra of all components entering oral thin film formulations to detect unwanted interactions between formulation components and the pure API and identify the spectrum of chemical ingredients present in the oral thin film sample. CD Formulation provides professional FT-IR analysis techniques to check the interactions between the active ingredients, and excipients, helping to develop high-quality oral thin films.

What is FT-IR Analysis?

FT-IR analysis measures the infrared region of the electromagnetic radiation spectrum, which has a longer wavelength and a lower frequency than visible light. This spectrum is measurable in a sample when subjected to infrared radiation (IR). The basic theory is that the bonds between atoms absorb light at different frequencies. FT-IR analysis measures the range of wavelengths in the infrared region that are absorbed by a thin film sample. The sample's ability to absorb the infrared light's energy at various wavelengths is measured to determine the sample's molecular composition and structure.

The Importance of Oral Thin Film FT-IR Analysis

• Provide information on the molecular structure and interactions between the different components of the oral thin film.
• Identify the excipients used in the formulation of oral thin films, as well as detect any impurities or degradation products that may be present
• Confirm the presence of the desired API in the oral thin film formulation, ensuring the correct API is delivered in the intended dose.
