Popis: X-ray diffraction (XRD) has a broad range of applications in various stages of drug development and manufacturing, such as API characterization and identification. API characterization is more commonly applied during drug development while API identification is directed more towards manufacturing, regulatory aspects, and intellectual property. This article focuses on basic principles and experimental procedures of XRD and its application in API characterization and identification. Keywords: x-ray diffraction (XRD); crystalline materials; amorphous materials; x-ray diffractometers
