Color measurement in pharmaceuticals is a multifaceted process that involves assessing raw materials, intermediates, and finished products. It provides vital information about a sample’s chemical composition and potential impurities.

The pharmacopeia, which includes authoritative guidelines such as the United States Pharmacopeia (USP) and European Pharmacopoeia (Ph. Eur.), sets standardized methods for color measurement to ensure consistency and accuracy. These standards are critical for harmonizing quality control procedures globally. 

After this webinar, you will understand how the European and United States Pharmacopeia define color determination, followed by a detailed description of how to calculate the color from a UV/Vis spectrum.
