On rough /curved samples
With Raman imaging you can identify particles as small as 1 µm, including API/salts/hydrates/polymorphs/amorphous forms, excipients, contaminants and degradation products. The new Spectrum Search module makes it easy to identify components in a mixture.
Study the characteristics of each component, including morphology, uniformity, agglomeration and size distribution.
The Raman spectrum of each molecule is unique, like a fingerprint. You can use them to differentiate species that are chemically very similar, including
polymorphs, amorphous forms, salt forms and hydrates.
The Renishaw RA802 Pharmaceutical Analyser uses Raman imaging to generate detailed images of pharmaceutical materials such as tablets. Spectra are collected from across the surface, to build an image of the whole sample. This shows the distribution of individual components. Images can be generated in as little as 5 minutes.
Colours can be added to highlight chemical components and particle statistics. This gives you highly visual results, to help understand variations in formulations and the link between performance and chemical properties.
Traditionally, identifying components in mixtures with Raman was a complex, time-consuming process. However with Renishaw’s new Spectrum Search module, you can identify them automatically. Simply specify the maximum number of components and the module scans multiple spectral libraries to provide all possible combinations, with scoring based on match quality and goodness-of-fit. Multiple libraries are searched simultaneously.
You can now easily combine Raman images with results from other microscopy systems, including SEM, AFM, infrared, fluorescence and optical microscopy. Renishaw’s Correlate software module makes it easy to acquire data from the same region and overlay results for powerful insights. More info…
