RapID Portable Raman Raw Material ID Verification

Description

The RapID Portable Raman system from Agilent Technologies is a probe-based spectrometer for non-destructive raw material identification. It utilizes spatially offset Raman spectroscopy (SORS) technology with an 830 nm laser (Class 3B) to analyze materials through opaque, colored, or transparent packaging. This capability is particularly valuable in pharmaceutical GMP quality control, as it allows verification of container contents—such as APIs and excipients in sacks, drums, or amber bottles—without opening them. By eliminating traditional sampling procedures, the system accelerates workflows, reduces contamination risks, and maintains sterility. The instrument includes features to support data integrity compliance with regulations like 21 CFR Part 11. Its dimensions are 394 mm wide, 630 mm deep, and 693 mm high.
