ANALYZER FOR DETERMINING THE CONCENTRATION, POTENCY AND PURITY OF PHARMACEUTICAL COMPOUNDS
First Claim
1. A system for confirming the concentration or purity of a sample having a desired concentration or purity, comprising:
- a master unit comprising a computer, apparatus for determining the spectral data regarding a known or unknown sample, and a database of stored spectral data;
a portable unit comprising apparatus for determining the spectral data regarding a known or unknown sample;
apparatus for transferring data between said master unit and said portable unit; and
software for operating said master unit and said portable unit.

Abstract
A computer facilitated method of requesting a spectral analysis of a sample having an unknown concentration or purity, performing an energy absorption analysis of the sample to obtain spectral data regarding the analysis and comparing the spectral data to stored spectral data regarding the analyses of the samples having a predetermined concentration and purity to determine the concentration or purity of the sample having an unknown concentration or purity. The spectral analysis is performed on site where the sample is prepared or administered using a portable analytical apparatus and provides a real time report of the concentration or purity of the sample. The apparatus requires only a small sample size.
