Portable Analytical Instruments – Thermo Scientific

Handheld Raman and NIR Solutions that Enable Lab-Quality Analysis in the Field In an age where smart phones and computers are becoming both smaller and more powerful, it may come as no surprise that the same trend is starting to catch on with sophisticated instruments formerly relegated to analytical chemistry laboratories. Instruments such as the Thermo Scientific TruScan RM and microPHAZIR RX are designed for ease of use and enable brand security teams and regulatory enforcement agencies to conduct lab-quality analysis in the field. The Thermo Scientific TruScan RM analyzer, powered by Raman spectroscopy, and microPHAZIR RX analyzer, powered by NIR spectroscopy, offer two complementary approaches to authenticating pharmaceuticals. These analysers use vibrational spectroscopy to compare the chemical “fingerprint” of a sample with an authentic reference.  Spectroscopy is the characterisation of a substance based on the way it interacts with light. With greater than 650 GMP facility installations worldwide, our handheld analysers are  implemented by 24 of the top 25 global pharmaceutical companies  and fielded by more than 15 regulatory enforcement agencies worldwide – enabling them to effectively ensure quality standards for public health and safety.  What’s more, both analysers comply with 21 CFR part 11 guidelines and meet the requirements of global pharmacopeias. www.thermoscientific.com/quality
