ID testing on raw material is not equivalent to chemically verifying whether the received raw material is the correct one or not. Quarantining, containers verification/clean-up/movements, in-booth container opening, and sampling/scanning, containers movements followed by data review complete the process and increase its complexity. One must not tackle just the chemistry test but the entire protocol to save time and costs. Agilent uses patented Spatially Offset Raman (SORS) spectroscopy to enable ID testing of raw materials directly in quarantine through transparent and opaque containers alike. No sampling is required—no opening of containers. No mess. Just a fast and straightforward process. This RapID fire presentation will discuss the two Agilent systems based on SORS for the identification of raw materials used in pharma and biomanufacturing like buffers, cell growth media, amino-acids, sugars through various containers and will be useful to QC managers, raw material managers , PAT scientists and production efficiency scientists.
Learning Objectives:
- Raw material identity verification through transparent and non-transparent containers removes the need for sampling, increasing testing throughput without increasing costs
- The Vaya and RapID systems, with true through-barrier SORS technology, works through most common containers - from clear glass vials to multilayer paper sacks
- Vaya and RapID improve current testing protocols—from low volume sampling to 100% ID testing
