Raman Spectroscopy

Innovative Raman Spectrometers for Noninvasive Chemical Analysis

Agilent Raman spectrometers use proprietary spatially offset Raman spectroscopy (SORS) and transmission Raman spectroscopy (TRS) in fields ranging from airport security screening and pharmaceutical quality control, to hazardous chemical identification in the field.

SORS enables our Raman spectrometers to analyze through containers and opaque barriers, from helping first responders identify the contents of suspect packages, to high-throughput raw material identification inside unopened packaging at pharmaceutical quality control. TRS nondestructively screens whole tablets and capsules in seconds, for rapid content uniformity and polymorph analysis in pharma QC and formulation development.

AstraZeneca Webinar Discusses Extended Uniformity of Dosage Unit Testing of Pharmaceutical Tablets Using TRS

Transmission Raman spectroscopy (TRS) is non-destructive and high throughput, so can be applied to extended uniformity of dosage unit testing and enhanced control strategies aiming at real-time release for batch and continuous operations. Hear Anders Sparén, Associate Principal Scientist at AstraZeneca, present his team’s work showing why TRS is an ideal technique for the assessment of assay, uniformity of dosage unit, and polymorphs in tablets and capsules.

Through Container Verification of Pharmaceutical Raw Materials with the New Agilent Vaya Handheld Raman System

This webcast describes raw material verification testing through transparent and non-transparent packaging using the new Agilent Vaya Raman system. Vaya is the first handheld Raman spectrometer incorporating spatially offset Raman spectroscopy (SORS) technology for the quick identification of raw materials through containers. SORS reduces the need for sampling, saving cost, and resources by testing incoming goods quickly in the warehouse. Vaya combines the capabilities of conventional Raman systems with SORS for maximum sample/container compatibility. A range of container/material combinations will be discussed.
