Aseptic Identification of Polysorbates Using Handled Raman
24 May 2015Polysorbates are used in a variety of industries including food, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals and biopharmaceuticals. Due to industry regulations and quality standards, it is considered good practice to identify incoming materials prior to manufacturing. Polysorbates are reactive to light and air therefore packaging is usually in thick, dark, amber bottles. This makes the identification process more difficult, as opening the container to sample could compromise the sterility and quality of these materials. In this application note, handheld Raman is used to identify these materials without any sampling or preparation.

Raman SpectroscopyRaman spectroscopy is used to discern the vibrational and rotational states of molecules and hence the chemical composition of a sample by measuring the inelastic scattering of monochromatic light. Explore a range of Raman spectrometers, including handheld/portable Raman spectrometers for QC/QA labs and in situ spectrometers for processes. Conduct Raman imaging for microanalysis of mixed samples using a Raman microscope. Raman spectrographs are also available.
