AF-PTIR microscopy is shown to enable chemically-specific imaging of an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) and discrimination between two crystal forms of the API with parts per million (ppm) detection limit. AF-PTIR is based on detecting highly-localized temperature-induced variations in native autofluorescence intensity following the absorption of mid-IR radiation generated by an array of 32 independent narrowband quantum cascade lasers (QCLs). AF-PTIR was demonstrated to improve the detection limit in trace crystal form impurities analysis by two orders of magnitude as compared to commercial powder X-ray diffraction instrumentation, suggesting potential applications in pharmaceutical formulations analysis.
