Near-infrared (NIR) and Raman spectroscopy are versatile analytical techniques for rapid, nondestructive analysis, applicable to many industries. At Metrohm, we’ve joined forces with two likeminded industry leaders to create Metrohm NIRSystems, a business division focused on bringing our philosophy of quality products and unparalleled applications know-how to spectroscopy. Our partnership with FOSS brings you over 50 years of experience and numerous patents that drive technology for the lab and process line. Together with Snowy Range Instruments we take a dynamic approach to miniaturized Raman products featuring innovative optical and mechanical sampling. With a focus on accuracy and performance in harsh conditions, our instruments measure samplesin a wide variety of matrices – with little or no sample preparation.
PAT and QbD – with NIRS in search of the best of all methods The FDA's stated goal is to cut development time for new drugs while at the same time significantly improving quality. This requirement can only be fulfilled with analytical techniques which monitor the entire process – from incoming raw materials throughout the process to final inspection. To achieve this, perfect PAT sensors are needed that enable "live" tracking of the manufacturing process. NIRS is the technique that makes this possible. An inline sensor monitors product quality in real time. This prevents out-of-spec products and reduces overall costs. The new Mira P for raw material verification: Barely larger than a smartphone, the Mira P is one of the fastest and most compact Raman spectrometers on the market. With the Mira P, you will be able to ensure smooth and efficient processes, as you will get a reliable "Pass" or "Fail" result in 15 to 20 seconds on average. The instrument and dedicated MiraCal P software is compliant with 21 CFR Part 11 regulations, making the Mira P the ideal instrument for material verification in regulated industries.
