Improved Pharma Announces New Raman Microscopy Abilities and Collaboration with Chemical Microscopy, LLC

IMPROVED-PHARMA

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind., June 2, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- In response to growing demands for services, Improved Pharma, LLC is pleased to announce a collaboration with Dr. Dale K. Purcell of Chemical Microscopy, LLC to provide services related to microscopy and microspectroscopy to Improved Pharma clients. With this collaboration comes the acquisition of HORIBA's Xplora Series Raman Microscope. Raman mapping is a powerful technique used to fully characterize pharmaceutical products. Improved Pharma routinely uses Raman mapping in investigations of patent infringement, detection of low levels of impurities, and trouble-shooting of failed product performance. The new Raman microscope offers two great advantages over other Raman microscopes: speed and focus control. Maps of tablets can be collected in minutes rather than hours. The built-in Z-focus automatically brings into focus each pixel of the map prior to data collection, which provides greatly improved spectral results and an overall higher resolution map.
