Popis: The purpose of this paper is twofold: (i) to present the Pill Safe, a novel design for a tamper-resistant prescription container, and (ii) to present use of near-infrared (NIR) spectrometry for characterization of fuel components and prediction of the burn characteristics of the fuel mixtures used to destroy tablets in the Pill Safe. In the safe, drug tablets are stacked next to fuel and attempts to force the mechanism or penetrate the bottle cause their instant destruction. The Pill Safe offers a second line of defense against the illicit distribution of dangerous prescription drugs.
