Handheld Raman analyzers are widely used analytical tools in pharmaceutical manufacturing processes. In addition to ensuring safety and efficacy, they also contribute to sustainable quality control. Pharmaceutical companies are seeking efficient methods to reduce costs and risks related to raw material identification, in-process analysis, final inspection, and brand protection to aim for 100% inspection and waste-free production. However, traditional quality control methods are high-cost and time-consuming, and optimization within limited management resources is a challenge.
Nonetheless, there can be no compromise on quality and environmental consideration. Handheld Raman analyzers enable quick on-site assessment with simple operation, helping companies improve efficiency, reduce costs, and contribute to lower environmental impact through waste reduction and optimization of energy usage.
As the pharmaceutical supply chain becomes globalized, raw material inspection is becoming stricter and Raman spectroscopy is now recognized in the Japanese Pharmacopoeia, the United States Pharmacopeia (USP), and the European Pharmacopoeia (EP). Compact and high-precision handheld Raman analyzers play a vital role in pharmaceutical settings as reliable material verification tools, supporting the realization of sustainable pharmaceutical manufacturing.
