Developments in formulation analyses by powder diffraction analysis
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 March 2012
Abstract
Developments in X-ray analysis hardware and software have combined to dramatically improve the throughput, speed, and accuracy of formulation analyses. We will focus on a complimentary development, the growth and application of a comprehensive database based on the Powder Diffraction File™ (PDF®). The PDF is an edited and standardized combination of several crystallographic databases with ∼497 000 published entries. The comprehensive nature of this database, combined with phase identification and digital pattern simulations, was used to identify complex formulations with crystalline and noncrystalline ingredients. We will show how these parallel developments enhance the ability to correctly identify complex formularies.
