The TRS100 quantitative pharmaceutical analysis system
TRS100 Quantitative Pharmaceutical Analysis System
A TRS100 system can reduce content uniformity, assay, and ID tests to minutes per batch, saving significant cost and speeding up your quality control workflow. Sample preparation and consumables are not needed, meaning skilled analytical resources are not required. Content uniformity testing methods using transmission Raman have been approved by regulators using ICH and regulatory authority-acceptable protocols.

Jerry Jin
PAT Scientist at Allergan
The analysis of 10 pharmaceutical tablets for their content uniformity takes only several minutes, as compared to one day turnaround time when using a traditional HPLC method. Method development using TRS100 for material identification and quantitative assay is generally easier than other vibrational spectroscopic techniques such as near infrared (NIR). One intrinsic advantage of TRS is its excellent specificity. Considering the unique strength of Agilent’s TRS100 in pharmaceutical analysis, I expect to see its deployment in more QC labs for product identification and assay, as well as its deployment on factory floors for real-time release testing.
