Simplifying Through-Container Testing with Raman Spectroscopy in the Pharmaceutical Industry

Raman spectroscopy has become a powerful tool in the pharmaceutical industry to qualify incoming raw materials. For over a decade, spatially offset Raman spectroscopy (SORS) has been used to characterize pharmaceutical materials in opaque containers.
However, using SORS methods introduces several practical challenges, including poor repeatability, higher statistical variation, and limited flexibility across package types and materials.
In this webinar, we will demonstrate a more robust and practical alternative to SORS for see-through Raman analysis. Attendees will learn how the i‑Raman NxG enables reliable, repeatable identification of pharmaceutical raw materials in sealed, opaque packaging, ultimately helping preserve product integrity and streamline material qualification workflows.
Key learnings of this webinar:
- Get to know i-Raman NxG as an alternative to SORS analysis
- Learn how i-Raman NxG enables reliable, repeatable raw material identification
Who should attend?
- Anybody involved in incoming goods inspection in pharmaceutical production.
