TruScan RM – Handheld Raman Spectrometer

Qualitative and quantitative analyses for QC, PAT, R&D

Raman spectrometer TruScan RM for GMP-compliant ID testing

The TruScan RM is the ideal all-round spectrometer for raw material and at-line process control. It is used worldwide by almost all major chemical and pharmaceutical companies.
Battery-powered, handy, small and light, it is flexibly suited for analyses within seconds that were previously reserved for the laboratory. The analyzer identifies raw materials through transparent containers. This eliminates the need for sampling and makes the entire raw material control process much more efficient. The optional TruTools chemometrics package turns the TruScan into a hand-held PAT analyzer for qualitative and quantitative at-line process control.

Benefits

  • Battery operated, small and handy – allows mobile use directly in the goods receiving area, weighing, etc. wherever a quick check is required.
  • Non-contact measurement of solids and liquids through transparent packaging – saves costly and time-consuming sampling.
  • High quality Raman spectra for highest selectivity – allows easy application of new raw material methods and selective separation of thousands of raw materials.
  • Intuitive operation and clear result output – can also be operated by employees without a scientific background – relieves the burden on highly qualified laboratory personnel.
  • Detailed installation and compliance documentation – guarantees fast implementation and safe use in regulated industrial environments (GMP, 21CFRp11, USP, EP)
  • Optional chemometrics package TruTools – enables qualitative PASS/FAIL testing in raw material control as well as quantitative analyses, e.g. of contents.

Areas of application

The robust handheld instrument weighs only 0,9 kg and can

  • be used in receipt of goods, stock or wherever a fast identity check is needed.
  • measure solids and fluids through transparent packaging with no need for contact.
  • differentiate unambiguously between very similar chemical bonds – outstanding selectivity.
  • be used even by low skilled staff, thanks to the very easy handling.
