Phase transitions in secnidazole: Thermal stability and polymorphism studied by X-ray powder diffraction, thermal analysis and vibrational spectroscopy

Here, researchers use techniques such as Raman spectroscopy, X-ray powder diffraction and hot stage microscopy with Linkam’s FTIR600 to observe the dehydration process of the antimicrobial drug secnidazole, which aids quality control and development of solid pharmaceutical formulations.
