Can you please inform me of a ball park figure of the cost of an instrument to ID test ($NZ)pharmaceutical actives and excipients (mainly powders)and suppliers in NZ. Regards, Colin. |

Depends a little on how deep you want to go. If it is just an YES/NO thing on powders then one of these small diode array spectrometers with a diffuse reflectance probe should be good enough. If we are talking raw materials for the pharma, then I would not expect too much variation between batches anyway. Look at Ocean Optics, Yobin Ivon or enter "diode array nir spectrometer" in Google. I expect 20.000$ should get you started. |
