“…In principle, specific polymorphic forms can be identified and quantified by using X-ray powder diffractometry (XRPD) (7,11), vibrational spectroscopic techniques including IR (12), NIR (13), Raman (14)(15)(16), solid-state NMR (17), and thermoanalytical methods like differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) (18). The use of XRPD may be limited by uncertainty in peak intensity caused by preferred orientation and limited sensitivity, even though it is still the most popular technique used for polymorphic identification.…”
