Monitoring Pharmaceutical Waste

Tiny Wearable Raman Spectrometers for Direct and SERS Detections for the Real World!

The Agilent Vaya Raman system is a handheld spectrometer capable of identifying raw materials through transparent and opaque containers. This white paper discusses some of the benefits of deploying a Vaya system in a pharmaceutical warehouse, to simplify and accelerate the ID verification of raw materials at receipt.

Follow these simple tips to avoid common handling errors that could result in contamination and impact your sensitive analyses.

This study demonstrates the through-opaque-container analysis capability of the Agilent Vaya handheld Raman spectrometer by performing measurements on a range of common excipients and active ingredients within blue barrels.
