Biopharmaceutical Raw Material Verification with Handheld Vaya Raman Spectrometer
Agilent Technologies: Biopharmaceutical Raw Material Verification with Handheld Vaya Raman Spectrometer
Raw Material Identification (RMID) and Verification is an integral part of Quality Assurance-Quality Control (QA-QC) in the biopharmaceutical industry, impacting customer safety, production speed, and cost.
Handheld Spatially Offset Raman Spectroscopy (SORS) spectrometers have become vital tools for RMID applications. These compact devices can penetrate challenging containers such as amber glass and paper bags, ensuring accurate identification of biopharmaceutical raw materials. Their portability affords a high-throughput, reliable, and convenient solution for RMID, meeting the stringent compliance requirements of the biopharmaceutical industry.
