Innovative Raman Spectrometers Using SORS & TRS for Noninvasive Chemical Analysis

Agilent Raman spectrometers use proprietary spatially offset Raman spectroscopy (SORS) and transmission Raman spectroscopy (TRS) in fields ranging from airport security screening and pharmaceutical quality control, to hazardous chemical identification in the field.

SORS enables our Raman spectrometers to analyze through containers and opaque barriers, from helping first responders identify the contents of suspect packages, to high-throughput raw material identification inside unopened packaging at pharmaceutical quality control. TRS nondestructively screens whole tablets and capsules in seconds, for rapid content uniformity and polymorph analysis in pharma QC and formulation development.

Application Note - Vaya Identifies Raw Materials and APIs Through Blue Drums

This study demonstrates Vaya’s ability to verify the identity of pharmaceutical raw materials, ancillary products for pharmaceutical manufacturing, and APIs through opaque containers like blue drums, which are often used to store raw materials sensitive to ambient light. Vaya’s SORS technology and wizard-based method development means QC groups can easily develop methods to ID materials through blue drums.

Agilent Resolve Awarded Highest Score Amongst Handheld Raman Devices in DHS Report

In the United States, the Agilent Resolve was awarded the highest overall score amongst handheld Raman devices available in the market in an assessment conducted by the Department of Homeland Security's System Assessment and Validation for Emergency Responders (SAVER) program. In the independent evaluation performed by emergency responders, the Resolve also scored the highest in the "Capability" criterion, exceeding the expectations of all evaluators as it correctly identified samples through all containers used at the assessment.
