Customers may purchase the library as Raman only or as a matched FT-IR and Raman library (see FT-IR and Raman Matched Library section), or may purchase an FT-IR only library (see Industry-Specific FT-IR and NIR Library section). It includes a textbook with explanation of spectroscopy techniques and the spectra of the pharmaceutical excipients.

The Pharmaceutical Excipients Library was created in collaboration with David E. Bugay and W. Paul Findlay of Bristol-Myers Squibb Pharmaceutical Research Institute. The spectra were collected using a Thermo FT-Raman spectrometer.
