Vaya Handheld Raman Spectrometer for Raw Material Identification

Description

The Agilent Vaya is a handheld Raman spectrometer engineered specifically for raw material identification in quality control and manufacturing environments. A key technical feature is its use of spatially offset Raman spectroscopy (SORS) with an 830 nm excitation laser (Class 3B), enabling analysis through sealed, non-transparent containers such as colored tubs, paper bags, and amber bottles. The instrument has a spectral resolution between 12 and 20 cm⁻¹ and physical dimensions of 127 mm wide by 257 mm deep by 60 mm high. Its integrated software is designed for straightforward pass/fail analysis, aiming to minimize operator training requirements. The system includes functionalities to support regulatory compliance, such as audit trails, method validation modules, and features aligned with data integrity standards like 21 CFR Part 11. It also offers connectivity options including WiFi and a 2D barcode reader for data synchronization and workflow integration.
