The Thermo Scientific Antaris FT-NIR analyzer makes it possible to carry out extremely accurate analysis and QC of raw materials in the pharmaceutical manufacturing plant. In addition to helping laboratory and manufacturing workers to improve productivity by reducing analysis time, the analyzer can also aid regulatory compliance. By using the Antaris for raw material analysis, companies can save a significant amount of time in the laboratory, as well as improving productivity, and reducing operating costs.

Raman spectroscopy is particularly useful for the rapid identification and verification of materials that exist in different polymorph and crystalline forms and also for some inorganics. Raman is a non-destructive technique and is capable of sampling through glass and plastic containers. The Thermo Scientific DXR SmartRaman spectrometer overcomes the limitations of previous generation spectrometers by using built-in intelligence to optimize data collection conditions so that answers are delivered at the push of a button. This ease of operation is complemented by the widest range of Raman spectral libraries for sample identification. In addition, the DXR SmartRaman spectrometer is fully validatable.

The Thermo Scientific Diffuse Reflectance accessory (DRA-Ev-600), for use with the Thermo Scientific Evolution™ 600 UV-Visible spectrophotometer, is a valuable tool for the characterization of a variety of pharmaceutical raw materials. In transmission mode, the Evolution 600/DRA system delivers accurate measurements of your packaging materials ensuring that your product is adequately protected from degradation by light. Or, combined with Thermo Scientific VISIONlite ColorCalc Software, the Evolution 600/DRA system becomes a high performance tool for color measurements of all your solid sample materials.
