DOI: 10.1002/elps.202100045 The cover picture shows a FTIR spectroscopy‐based simple, rapid, and robust method that is capable of differentiating between the biotherapeutics (both innovator products and biosimilars). The proposed approach enables us to not only identify the product but also calculate its concentration. It can be used to fulfill the identity testing requirement of a pharmaceutical drug in their final packaged form set by the US FDA. Further, identity testing can also be deployed at multiple steps in the manufacturing process and can also be used by the appropriate regulatory or government agency for tackling the counterfeits of biotherapeutic products.
