Benefits of Library and Identification Method Transfer Capabilities Using Hand-held Raman Spectrometers

14 Nov 2014

With the increased use of Raman spectroscopy for identification and verification, the demand for commercial libraries, transferrable libraries and identification methods for hand-held Raman spectrometers has increased. Successful library transfer has been demonstrated with commercial libraries, and for Raman spectra collected on different instruments. This white paper describes how, on the NanoRam hand-held Raman spectrometer (B&W Tek, Newark, DE) both identification methods and libraries can be transferred from one unit to another.

NanoRam® Handheld Raman Spectrometer

B&W Tek, Inc.

The NanoRam® is the state-of-the-art compact handheld Raman analyzer designed for use by non-specialists, and easily operates single-handedly.It allows rapid development of libraries and methods for material identification and verification within cGMP compliant facilities, whether in the lab, the warehouse, the loading dock or the field. Raman spectroscopy is an approved method by US Pharmacopeia, European Pharmacopeia, Pharmacopeia of the People’s Republic of China and is a well-recognized method for compliance with the PICS GMP guide to provide 100% assurance of the identity of each container of starting material.The NanoRam is fully compliant with all governing regulations including 21 CFR Part 11 and Part 1040.10. B&W Tek offers a wide variety of services including assistance with method and/or new library development and other services such as support with IQ/OQ/PQ validation.NanoRam® Handheld Raman Spectrometer Features: Intuitive Software – a user-friendly tool for both technical & non-technical users to make their job easier Versatility – measure a variety of samples in a variety of environments and packaging with just one unit Data Reproducibility – superior hardware ensures that results are consistent and reliable Performance – robust multivariate algorithms guarantee accuracy when testing and identifying materials
