Opaque Container Analysis Capabilities of the Agilent Vaya Handheld Raman Spectrometer
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. Spatially offset Raman spectroscopy (SORS) is the unique Agilent technology that is the basis of the unique Vaya container subtraction algorithm. This technology can optimize the spectra to provide the clearest signature of contents with the minimum amount of container interference. Verification of raw materials directly through plastic barrels provides efficient raw material identification (RMID) workflows in the warehouse without the need for specialized personnel or controlled sampling environments.
Polymer Matrices: Optimization for Pre-Analytical Workflow
November 27th 2024Learn about the challenges of preparing polymer samples for elemental analysis and how advanced microwave digestion systems, particularly Single Reaction Chamber (SRC) technology, optimize this process for better accuracy, efficiency, and safety.
Poster Presentation - RISE imaging of various phases of SiC in sintered silicon-carbide ceramics
November 12th 2024In this poster presentation applications manager Ute Schmidt discusses the use of correlative Raman-SEM (RISE Microscopy) imaging for analyzing silicon-carbide (SiC) ceramics. The main focus of the work is investigating the distribution of sub-micron structured polytypes of SiC grains on and below the surface.
