A method of analysing powder formed as a mixture of pharmaceutical ingredients and derived from a bulk preparation of powder by spectrophotometric analysis utilising transmission measurements. A sample powder is removed from the bulk mixture and pressed into a test wafer and spectrophotometrically analysed for the transmitted beam to provide an assay test spectrum of actual absorption characteristics of ingredients in the material of the wafer. These characteristics of the assay test spectrum are compared with predetermined assay standard spectra determined from individual standard wafers for each relevant ingredient in the powder mixture by measuring absorption characteristics of the individual ingredients from the transmitted beam at known wavelengths of the beam to assess acceptability of the homogenity and distribution of the relevant ingredient in the powder of the sample. The wafer is preferably pressed with flat and parallel opposed end faces through which the beam is directed.
