Application of Handheld Spectrometer in Congo

Article on Development and Validation of a Near Infra-Red (NIR) Hand-held Spectrophotometric Method Using PCA Approaches and Chemometric Tools: Application for Qualitative and Quantitative Determination of Tadalafil Marketed in Kinshasa—D. The aim of our work was to develop analytical methods based on vibrational techniques using low-cost portable equipment. Based on different chemometric modeling, we. Inrecentdecades,morethan15%oftheantimalarialsmarketedinlow-andmiddle-incomecountrieshavebeenofpoorquality,inwhichquinolinederivativesand quinine-based formulations account for 21%. aa major local manufacturer intheDemocraticRepublicofCongo(DRC). The high Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI) indicates a concentrated market, suggesting strong competition among these. Data driven - soft independent modeling of class analogy (DD-SIMCA) and partial least squares (PLS) regression models were developed for qualitative and quantitative purpose, respectively. The specificity and selectivity tests were performed using the DD-SIMCA models on the placebo, the quinidine. A handheld NIR spectrophotometric method was developed, validated and applied for determination of tadalafil in tablets. Based on different chemometric modeling, we attempt. [PDF]
