Spectrochimica Acta Part A - Molecular and Biomolecular Spectroscopy
Medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA) injectable suspensions are used by millions of women for family planning and hormonal therapy. Falsified or substandard medications may result in a health risk for consumers. Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIR) has previously been applied as a means of non-destructive and rapid screening of product quality compliance.
