Raman spectrometers for the pharmaceutical and food industries

With the implementation of the 2010 version of GMP, the country has put forward higher requirements for drug quality and the detection capabilities of pharmaceutical companies. Article 11 of this document states that Article 110: The corresponding operating procedures should be formulated, and appropriate measures such as checking or inspection should be taken to confirm that the raw materials in each packet are correct. However, most drug manufacturers often neglect this aspect. The main reason for this is that when testing raw materials, liquid or infrared detection methods are used. Because this detection method has the limitations of long detection time and slow analysis speed, it limits the possibility of realizing full inspection and can only perform sampling inspection. Portable Raman spectrometer technology, with its unique fingerprint characteristics, and without the need for sample preparation, rapid and non-destructive analysis, has been increasingly adopted by pharmaceutical companies. Raman spectrometer technology has been widely used in laboratories for several decades. Due to the rapid development of laser technology and detection technologies such as CCD, the advantages of Raman spectrometer technology are also emerging. US SciAps company brings this method from the laboratory to the site to provide a kind of rapid non-destructive testing program for users of pharmaceutical companies that is in compliance with relevant laws and regulations and has strong feasibility. It is convenient for the user to carry out the identification test on the original and auxiliary materials of each small package. SciAps Inc. of the US is the first company in the world to research and design portable Raman spectrometers. Its DeltaNu team has launched the world's first portable Raman spectrometer Inspector, and the world's smallest Handheld Raman spectrometer ReporteR. Inspector won the American R&D Awards. After more than a decade of continuous R&D and innovation, DeltaNu has a unique expertise in portable Raman spectroscopy. In the world, there are many well-known pharmaceutical companies such as Pfizer and Johnson.

Xi'an Fengdeng Optoelectronics Technology Co., Ltd. is a Northwest Service Center authorized by SciAps Inc. of the United States and is dedicated to bringing SciAps' advanced on-site analysis technology to China to serve western users.
