The application of classical methods for pellet coating thickness determination (weight gain, microscopic analysis, dissolution testing) is time-consuming or does not consider pellets loss during the coating procedure. Therefore, these methods are not optimal for process control during pellets coating. The aim of this study was to develop rapid and valid methods for the determination of pellets average coating thickness by near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS). NIRS is not the primary method; therefore reference data are required for calibration. Data obtained from two reference methods for coating thickness determination (microscopic analysis, a geometric model calculated from pellets weight and density) were mutually compared. A geometric model was chosen as the simpler, quicker and more robust reference method. The polymer films studied were ethylcellulose (EC) and Eudragit (R) RS (ERS) applied on pellets in a Wurster column. The calibration models were carried out by partial least squares (PLS) regression, with two factors for EC and ERS films, respectively. The PLS validation sets had r > 0.97, and a standard error of validation, 3.29 mu m (range tested 10 - 70 mu m), for the EC film and 1.10 mu m (range tested 2 - 20 mu m) for the ERS film. The obtained results clearly demonstrate the feasibility of NIRS as a part of quality control procedure in the pharmaceutical industry.
