The Vaya handheld Raman spectrometer works through colored plastic sacks
Vaya Handheld Raman Spectrometer for Raw Material Identification
Vaya improves current testing protocols—from low volume sampling to 100% identification testing—and if regulators require more testing in future, you can move to a higher-throughput process without any additional equipment. The system combines conventional handheld Raman spectrometer technology with unique spatially offset Raman spectroscopy (SORS) for maximum sample/container compatibility. With a dedicated raw material identification workflow, Vaya is fast, fully compliant, easy to deploy, and simple to use, requiring minimal training or operator skill.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs) Vaya Handheld Raman Spectrometer
FAQs on pharmaceutical raw material identification through transparent and nontransparent packaging using the Agilent Vaya handheld Raman spectrometer. Includes SORS technology, handheld Raman fluorescence, FTIR versus Raman for raw material identification, and handheld Raman compliance.
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.
Streamline Your Raw Materials Identification Process With Through-container Handheld ID Verification
The Agilent Vaya handheld Raman spectrometer verifies the identification of raw materials in pharmaceutical GMP quality control. Compatible with most raw materials and containers, Vaya offers best-in-class raw material identification testing through transparent containers, and unique identity verification through nontransparent containers, for the fastest possible release to manufacturing.

Raw Material Identification in Pharma QC
Confident identification and ensuring the quality of incoming raw materials is a critical step in the manufacturing of pharmaceutical products. Strict regulatory guidelines make testing all incoming raw materials mandatory, and 100% testing is increasingly being adopted by manufacturers worldwide. Traditional testing methods require containers to be opened for sampling, and this becomes progressively more time consuming and labor intensive as the requirement for 100% testing increases. Agilent offers fast analytical systems that eliminate the need to open containers, allowing raw material identification to be carried out upon receipt in the warehouse. Through-container testing dramatically streamlines raw material identification. Lengthy testing or sample handling can slow down the release of raw materials and their use in subsequent manufacturing. Verifying the identity of incoming raw materials through packaging gives pharmaceutical manufacturers the fastest and most cost-effective means of high throughput testing for quality control. Through-container testing also averts concerns about sterility, cross-contamination, and safe handling.
The Agilent Vaya Raman and RapID Raman systems use unique spatially offset Raman spectroscopy (SORS) to verify the contents of containers through transparent and opaque/colored packaging in seconds, enabling immediate raw material release into production. Vaya’s portability and through-barrier capability makes it the ideal handheld system for all testing regimes. RapID can be deployed when working with the most challenging opaque containers. The bottom line: raw material QC testing can be reduced from hours or days to only minutes per batch.
