Thermo Fisher Scientific has launched the Thermo Scientific DXR3 SmartRaman+ Raman Spectrometer for at-line quality control analysis across pharmaceutical and industrial environments. The system uniquely combines non-destructive Raman spectroscopy, automated sampling and custom sample holders to allow for accurate testing through final product containers without compromising sample integrity. With high confidence in detecting defects or contaminants while preserving sample integrity, the DXR3 SmartRaman+ supports more confident decision-making and helps safeguard product quality from early production through final packaging.
QC testing can be a labor-intensive process, requiring diligent sample analysis and robust documentation to comply with industry regulations. The system delivers faster QC workflows than traditional techniques and reduces the time required for operator training, thanks to its easy-to-use hardware.
Supporting both 532 nanometer (nm) and 785 nm laser wavelengths, the DXR3 SmartRaman+ Spectrometer enables flexibility in the laboratory, delivering the analysis of various sample types including liquids, powders and finished packaged goods.
OPC UA connectivity for integration into manufacturing platforms simplifies operation, reduces manual handling and minimizes training requirements.
Example applications includes: fill-and-finish QC in pharmaceutical manufacturing; adulterant detection in consumer products; and defect analysis and verification in industrial labs.
