Abstract:
As the process analytical technology (PAT) mindset is progressively introduced and adopted by the pharmaceutical companies, there is an increasing demand for effective and versatile real-time analyzers to address the quality assurance challenges of drug manufacturing. In the last decades, Raman spectroscopy has emerged as one of the most promising tools for non-destructive and fast characterization of the pharmaceutical processes. This review summarizes the achieved results of the real-time application of Raman spectroscopy in the field of the secondary manufacturing of pharmaceutical solid dosage forms, covering the most common secondary process steps of a tablet production line. In addition, the feasibility of Raman spectroscopy for real-time control is critically reviewed, and challenges and possible approaches to moving from real-time monitoring to process analytically controlled technologies (PACT) are discussed.

Raman Spectroscopy Instrumentation: Overview
The monochromatic laser source, typically using visible or near-infrared radiation, generates a highly focused beam of light. This light interacts with the molecules of the sample, scattering some of the light. Liquid and gaseous samples are usually tested in ordinary glass capillaries, while solids can be analyzed as powders packed in capillaries or as potassium...
