Biopharmaceutical Raw Material Verification with Handheld Vaya Raman Spectrometer

Today’s Biopharmaceutical industry puts higher requirement on the verification of the raw material to ensure product quality.  The Agilent Vaya handheld Raman spectrometer increases raw material identification throughput without increasing costs by reducing the need for sampling. From clear glass vials to brown paper sacks, Vaya offers best-in-class identification testing through transparent containers, and transformative handheld Raman identification through nontransparent containers—for the fastest possible release to manufacturing.
