In recent years, with the development of infrared thermal imaging technology and the penetration of thermal imaging devices in the civil field, infrared thermal imaging technology has been more and more applied in industrial manufacturing, power industry, scientific research and even public services and other industries. In the pharmaceutical industry, infrared thermal imaging devices can effectively help drug research and development and drug production packaging. It plays a very helpful role in drug research and development, such as non-contact temperature testing, drug packaging sealing testing, drug quality testing, etc.

 

1. Infrared Thermal Camera Assisted Drug Development

Informally, as a kind of non-contact infrared thermal imaging technology of nondestructive testing technology, can not contact the object, measuring surface temperature of the object, and through the form of infrared image, this process does not need to contact surfaces, will not cause damage to an object's surface, temperature measurement accuracy is more accurate, is a very practical means of temperature measurement. In the process of drug research and development, many components of the microtitration plate will have chemical reactions. Scientists need to observe the temperature change of chemical reactions and conduct new drug research and development with the help of infrared technology. Scientists can study the changes in the titration plate for judgment and analysis, so as to carry out further scientific research.

In the process of drug production, the sealing of drug packaging needs to be done well, otherwise it will easily affect the quality of the drug. In the pharmaceutical tablets in blister production line, fluctuation of aluminum foil and plate need to dope of hot-pressing so as to achieve sealing effect, heat sealing temperature control is a key parameter to guarantee the sealing of the packing, generally need to control sealing temperature in 140 ℃ to 170 ℃, if the temperature is not enough or over, will not reach adhesive sealing effect, cause inadequate packing leakage, heat sealing strength, easy to damage, serious harm to the drug quality of the internal storage. The infrared thermal imager can take the thermal image of the temperature distribution of the whole sealing plate instantaneously, and analyze and compare the temperature of the detected parts, so as to provide the temperature basis for improving and ensuring the thermal sealing effect.

In addition, short-wave infrared cameras can detect general-purpose drug tablets such as aspirin, acetaminophen, vitamin C and vitamin D. Therefore, infrared thermal imaging technology is also widely used in quality control or counterfeit drug detection and other aspects.
