Diffuse Reflectance in Process Analytical Technologies (PAT)
Session Chair: Dr. Katherine Bakeev, CAMO

Summary: Process Analytical Technology (PAT) is now in full swing in the pharmaceutical industry, while it has long been a part of non-pharma industries. NIR diffuse reflectance, and other diffuse reflectance technologies, are becoming a prominent part of the “PAT Toolbox”.
