Pharmaceutical Applications

In the lab, the warehouse, or at a remote location, ASD provides precise measurement of your pharmaceutical components.

When it comes to pharmaceuticals, exact knowledge of product makeup is essential. ASD specializes in providing materials measurement instruments that help pharmaceutical companies elevate their quality control and improve their operations. Whether you want to ascertain the content of a pill, verify correct formulation, or search for counterfeit drugs, we have the product to meet your needs.

ASD produces mobile and bench top Near Infrared (NIR) spectrometers for the lab, the warehouse, and remote locations. An extremely valuable technology, NIR quickly measures all relevant ingredients, including the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API), binders, colorants, and excipients. The measurement process occurs rapidly, usually within a second or two, without tampering with the sample.

All ASD products feature easy-to-use software that is compatible with the three leading chemometric software packages such as Grams, Simca and Unscrambler. We also provide all of the support information you need to meet 21CFR part 11 compliance.

ASD measurement solutions have been used effectively for:

  • Raw material inspection in the lab or on the warehouse floor
  • Quality inspection to ensure manufacturing specifications
  • Counterfeit drug detection


When you need rapid, non-destructive measurement for a range of pharmaceutical applications, look no further than ASD.
