Case Study
Identifying Raw Materials Inside Containers Using a Handheld Raman Spectrometer
White Paper Overview With profit margins in the pharmaceutical industry under ever increasing pressure, manufacturing groups are incentivized to achieve First Time Quality (FTQ) and reduce costs. The identification of raw materials, a current Good Manufacturing Practice (cGMP) mandated process (1, 2), is typically resource- and time-intensive and therefore an excellent target for improvements and cost-out efforts. The Agilent Vaya Raman system is a handheld spectrometer capable of identifying raw materials through transparent and opaque containers. This white paper discusses some of the benefits of deploying a Vaya system in a pharmaceutical warehouse, to simplify and accelerate the ID verification of raw materials at receipt. To address ever-growing pharmaceutical supply chain chal
