Easy Elemental Analysis of Pills (EDX)
Cold medications contain chlorine and bromine. These elements are relatively difficult to analyze by wet analysis methods. Energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis is effective for easy on-site analysis without pretreatment. The analysis of commercially available cold medication pills is described below.
