Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for use in performing a quantitative analysis of a turbid pharmaceutical sample, e.g. a tablet, a capsule or a similar sample forming a pharmaceutical dose. A pharmaceutical, turbid sample (24) is irradiated with an excitation beam (20) of radiation, e.g. near infrared radiation. The intensity of emitted radiation (30) from the sample (24) is detected as a function of both the wavelength of the emitted radiation and the photon propagation time through said sample (24). Optionally, the intensity of the emitted radiation (30) from the sample (24) is also detected in a spatially resolved manner.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for analyzing mixtures of components by a process selected from the group consisting of flow based separation processes and flow analysis processes. The method comprising the steps of: obtaining measurement signals by measuring process conditions at a plurality of positions throughout the system; applying signal processing to the measurement signals, said signal processing comprising multivariate data analysis for condensing the plurality of measurement signals to a smaller number of main signals being non-correlated; logging said main signals; and displaying said main signals versus time, where changes of said system conditions are indicated by one or more of the displayed main signals; detecting any error occurrence during an on going process, and determining what part of said system cause said error.

Abstract: A method, based on UV/VIS/NIR/IR (including Raman spectroscopy), is provided for the qualitative and quantitative determination of quality parameters in pulp and paper and/or the organic content in effluents from pulp and paper production, by applying chemometric methods.
