“…HPLC determinations revealed correct absolute strengths of API in all these imitations, but confirmed the API weight percentages gradient from the Class 7 (6.2%, w/w) to the classes 3 + 4 (6.9 and 7.4%, w/w, respectively), with intermediate relative strengths for the other classes (1, 2, 5, 6: 6.3 and 6.4%, w/w). Nevertheless, to get access to quantitative information from NIRS spectral data, calibrations have to be validated with different strength samples [16,35] quantified with a validated reference method [36][37][38].…”
