Abstract

Robust classiﬁcation of pharmaceuticals in an industrial process is an important step for validation of the ﬁnal product. Especially for pharmaceuticals with similar visual appearance a quality control is only possible if a reliable algorithm based on easily obtainable spectroscopic data is available. We used Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Support Vector Machines (SVM) on Raman spectroscopy data from a compact Raman system to classify several look-alike pharmaceuticals. This paper describes the data gathering and analysis process to robustly discriminate 19 diﬀerent pharmaceuticals with similar visual appearance. With the described process we successfully identiﬁed all given pharmaceuticals which had a signiﬁcant amount of active ingredients. Thus automatic validation of these pharmaceuticals in a process can be used to prevent wrong administration of look-alike drugs in an industrial setting, e.g. patient individual blistering.
