Raw Material Identity Verification in Sterile Manufacturing Using the Agilent RapID Raman System

4 Mar 2019

Avoiding contamination in the manufacture of parenteral, intravenous, and other sterile products is essential. However, verifying the identity of incoming materials typically involves opening the packaging and exposing both the contents and the operator. The Agilent RapID Raman system verifies material identity through unopened nontransparent containers. This Application Note highlights the ability of the RapID system to analyze materials typically used in sterile manufacturing without compromising the container’s seal.

RapID - Portable Raw Material ID Verification

Agilent Technologies

The RapID Raman system is the next generation in raw material testing for pharmaceutical GMP quality control. RapID is a portable Raman spectrometer that uses Agilent’s spatially offset Raman spectroscopy (SORS) technology to extend high-throughput spectroscopic analysis through clear packaging to nontransparent and colored containers. This unique capability makes RapID ideally suited to noninvasive raw material identity verification.
