A DEVICE AND A METHOD FOR MONITORING A PROPERTY OF A COATING OF A SOLID DOSAGE FORM DURING A COATING PROCESS FORMING THE COATING OF THE SOLID DOSAGE FORM

摘要

A method and a device for monitoring a property of a coating of a solid dosage form during a coating process forming the coating of the solid dosage form are provided. The device comprises a coating apparatus (110, 1210) configured for forming the coating on the solid dosage form, and a monitoring apparatus (120, 1220) configured for monitoring the property of the coating of the solid dosage form in process, wherein at least a part of the monitoring apparatus (120, 1220) is located so as to have insight in an interior of the coating apparatus (110, 1210), the interior accommodating the solid dosage form to be coated and a precursor for forming the coating, and wherein the monitoring apparatus is configured for monitoring the property of the coating of the solid dosage form simultaneously with and during a coating process using low coherence interferometry.
