On-line fluorescence spectroscopy process analyser
An on-line fluorescence spectroscopy process analyser is one of the PAT tools recently introduced by Analytik to allow the biopharma industry to achieve more cost-efficient and high quality processes
With growing pressure from the Food and Drug Administration on the natural products or neutraceutical industry to standardise ingredients and ensure product purity and quality, unique new and portable VIS-NIR spectroscopy is a highly efficient, convenient and cost-effective means to perform a wide variety of product testing in this industry.
New LabSpec portable VIS-NIR spectroscopy is not only ideal for quality control at any stage of the manufacturing process, but also for inspection and identity verification of incoming raw materials and finished products.
This can often be achieved by measuring through the packaging and thus eliminating the need for costly, time consuming and inconvenient sampling procedures.

LabSpec VIS-NIR analysers and software meet compliance requirements set under 21 CFR Part 11, and guidelines for USP 1119, by providing validatable, qualitative and quantitative testing procedures.
With the wider spectral range (350-2500nm), true portability and unique post-dispersive optical system in LabSpec instrumentation, 100% inspection of raw materials and finished products becomes a convenient reality.
Seamless user-friendly interfaces to available data processing software packages enable rapid raw material testing; in Goods Inwards areas, on the manufacturing floor, or wherever it is needed, positioning you to meet GMP and FDA requirements, quickly and conveniently.
In many cases this is easily possible by measuring with a high intensity contact probe through the packaging.
