Advance Your Raw Material ID: How Handheld Raman Can Verify Materials Through Opaque Packaging

A real bottleneck in GMP environments can be the verification and release of incoming raw materials. Agilent's Raman systems for raw material identification can alleviate this by making measurements through opaque containers using spatially offset Raman spectroscopy (SORS). 

We will discuss Agilent's handheld Vaya and mobile RapID solutions as well as demonstrate the Vaya's capabilities.
