Thermo Scientific TruScan

The family of Thermo Scientific TruScan analyzers represent an important advancement in handheld, portable instrumentation, enabling government and commercial users to effectively “bring the laboratory to the field.” The Thermo Scientific TruScan has evolved into a powerful tool used at regulatory and donor agencies tasked with ensuring the safety of medicines for the patients in the countries they protect because it can rapidly screen counterfeit pharmaceutical substances on the spot. The device collects a “spectral fingerprint” of the medicine in seconds and compares it to a reference spectrum of an authentic sample from a validated, digital library of medicines and pharmaceutical ingredients. TruScan analyzers utilize an embedded decision engine containing proprietary algorithms for the comparison. These sophisticated mathematical equations offer a pass or fail result in seconds based upon the statistical consistency of the “spectral fingerprint” with the authentic reference. The digital library can also be easily enhanced by the end user through input of their specific materials of interest.
