Abstract This article reviews recent advances in Raman spectroscopy its types and its applications, from the perspective of pharmaceutical analysis. The emerging concepts enable rapid non-invasive analysis of pharmaceutical formulations and could lead to many important applications in pharmaceutical settings, including quantitative bulk analysis of intact pharmaceutical tablets in quality and process control. Raman spectroscopy is particularly useful as a screening tool for quick evaluation of chemicals and pharmaceuticals since it is simple, non- destructive and information-rich.
Keywords Raman spectroscopy, non- destructive.
