Abstract Circular dichroism (CD) spectropolarimetry is one of only three analytical detector devices (sensors) capable of recognizing enantiomeric forms of optically active (chiral) molecules. The majority of naturally occurring substances that see significant applications as drug molecules are optically active. An intense interest in preparing chiral forms of drugs as single enantiomers has emerged with the rapid developments that are being made in the biotechnology industry. When a chiral drug is synthesized in the laboratory without the specificity normally provided in nature by enzymatically controlled reactions, the products are equimolar mixtures of both enantiomeric forms (racemicmixtures).
