Near-infrared spectroscopic monitoring of the film coating process.
Pharmaceutical Research 1996 Februrary
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to investigate the potential of near-infrared (near-IR) spectroscopy for non-destructive at-line determination of the amount of polymer coat applied to tablet cores in a Wurster column.
METHODS: The effects of coating composition on the near-IR spectroscopic determination of ethylcellulose (Aquacoat ECD-30) or hydroxypropylmethylcellulose (HPMC)-based (Spectrablend) coating were evaluated, as were the performance of several chemometric techniques.
RESULTS: Tablets were coated with up to 30% ethylcellulose or 22% HPMC, and samples were pulled at regular intervals during each coating run. Near-IR reflectance spectra of the intact tablets were then collected. The spectra were preprocessed by multiplicative scatter correction (MSC) or second derivative (D2) calculations, and calibrations developed using either principal components (PCs) or multiple spectral wavelengths. The near-IR method provided predictions of film applied with standard errors of 1.07% w/w or less.
CONCLUSIONS: Near-IR spectroscopy can be profitably employed in a rapid and non-destructive determination of the amount of polymer film applied to tablets, and offers a simple means to monitor the film coating process.
