Applications :
• Incoming raw, in-process, or finished material identity verification
• Identity check prior to dispensing of materials during manufacturing
• Field or laboratory counterfeit drug identification
Raw material ID testing for pharmaceutical and biotechnology manufacturing quality control processes requires speed, ease and efficiency to maintain continuous manufacturing. Samples are often brought to a quality control lab for testing, increasing costs and decreasing productivity.
The TruScan G3 Handheld Raman Analyzer uses lab-proven Raman spectroscopy to perform rapid material identification at the point of need to decrease sampling costs and increase inventory turns. Designed for intuitive operation, its non-destructive point-and-shoot sampling principle facilitates rapid verification of a broad range of chemical compounds through sealed packaging to minimize the risk of contamination and exposure.
The TruScan G3 Handheld Raman Analyzer is built with a state-of-the-art optical platform paired with a field-proven embedded chemometrics engine. Our patented, multivariate residual analysis offers the most effective chemometric solution for material identification – with two spectral pre-processing options, that are easy to operate in challenging environments and sampling conditions.
The analyzer’s adaptive decision engine readily discriminates materials without the need for manual threshold setting or method maintenance. The embedded decision engine collects not just the sample spectrum but also the measurement uncertainty at the moment of analysis, which allows the analyzer to adaptively adjust collection parameters to a wide variety of potential interferences (such as lighting, temperature and operator usage).
The TruScan G3 Handheld Raman Analyzer also offers enhanced compliance features, as well as software and data management functions, designed to facilitate workflow and optimize efficiency in tightly regulated environments. Key benefits include:
Fast
Obtain PASS/FAIL results within seconds. Method development is fast and simple, requiring minimal samples for creation of a robust model.
Compliant
Enhanced 21 CFR Part 11 compliance security features, such as digital data sign-off and optional password aging and complexity, allow users to customize the analyzer’s security settings to exceed regulatory requirements.
Broad material coverage
State-of-the-art optics and advanced chemometric decision algorithms allow automatic measurement of materials for which Raman analysis was either impractical or discrimination could not be achieved with
legacy HQI (hit quality index) decision algorithms.
Smart
Built-in smart features, such as assisted signature acquisition, power savings and device qualification warnings, ensure successful material identification and prevent user error.
Easy to use
Capacitive touch screen and an all new, yet familiar, user interface is vibrant and both easy to use and read. Improved functionality, including PDF batch reports and the option to sync the analyzer time clock to an NTP server.
Lightweight
Weighing 2.1 pounds (0.95kg), the analyzer is ergonomically designed to increase comfort and productivity during inspections.
