Probabilistic approach for material verification and identification in pharmaceutical applications

Spectroscopic material verification is a critically important analytical application within the pharmaceutical industry because of the adoption of standards such as the Pharmaceutical Inspection Co-operation Scheme (PIC/S), Annex 8. PIC/S Annex 8 requires that individual samples be taken from all incoming containers and an identity test be performed on each sample. Individual container identity testing puts drastically higher demands on expert analysts’ time.

Discover how Thermo Scientific™ TruScan™ Handheld Raman Analyzers use advanced processing during both data collection and analysis to ensure that sound statistical judgment supports every material-verification decision. They can enable nonexperts to positively verify the identity of materials at the point of receipt, increasing an organization’s throughput and cycle time.
