Process Analytical Technology (PAT) is a system for designing, analyzing and controlling manufacturing through timely measurements of critical quality and performance attributes of raw and in-process materials, and processes. The goal of PAT is ensuring final product quality.

Near-Infrared (NIR) spectroscopy offers a practical alternative to time consuming, solvent intensive wet-testing methods and liquid chromatography techniques. NIR is ideal for quick and reliable raw material identification while also being a powerful analysis tool capable of accurate multi-component quantitative analysis. NIR is also ideal for process monitoring due to various sampling techniques and fiber optic sampling.
