    Abstract:
    An analytical, non-destructive method using parallel-beam transmission powder X-ray diffractometry (PXRD) is presented for in situ whole compact detection and quantification of solid-state phase transformations in powder compacts. Accurate quantification of analyte in intact compacts using PXRD requires a mathematical correction prior to interpolation of calibration data to account for sample differences that result as a function of pressure; namely, compact thickness and solid fraction. Chlorpropamide is examined as a model system, selected because of its susceptibility to polymorphic transformations when consolidated using moderately low pressures. The results indicate that quantification of the transformed phase of chlorpropamide without corrections for solid fraction and thickness, underestimates the extent of transformation by 2.4%. Although the magnitude of the correction for this particular system of polymorphs is small, more significant values are expected for other compounds, particularly those with sufficient compactibility to allow the formation of low solid fraction calibration samples.
