Thermo Fisher Scientific introduces DXR3 SmartRaman+ Raman Spectrometer
For fast, non-destructive at-line testing in pharmaceutical and industrial environments
21 Jan 2026
Thermo Scientific™ DXR3™ SmartRaman+ Raman Spectrometer
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 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.
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.
Example applications include fill-and-finish quality control in pharmaceutical manufacturing, adulterant detection in consumer products, and defect analysis and verification in industrial labs.
Key features
- Advanced non-destructive testing: Enables accurate Raman analysis without compromising sample integrity – ideal for testing in final product packaging.
