Abstract
A method of real-time processing and monitoring comprises the steps of blending a material of interest (e.g., an active pharmaceutical material), with a secondary material, (e.g., an excipient), illuminating the blended materials with light, reflecting light carrying information about the blended materials through at least one multivariate optical element () and detecting said light with a first detector (), detecting a deflected portion of the information carrying light with a second detector (), and determining in real-time at least one selected property of the blended materials based on the detector outputs.
