The SPE raman. ID + metal. ID 20 enables you to determine chemical elements as well as chemical structure information using Raman Spectroscopy for particles (from 20 µm.) at a rate of thousands per hour. For the first time two orthogonal spectroscopy technologies can identify unknown particle material. Thanks to the intuitive software control, you will be able to obtain statistically relevant information after a short introductory training period. Simply insert the sample, select the relevant particle size and shape, then allow the system to identify the exact chemical composition and elemental distribution at a throughput rate of 100 - 1000 particles per hour.
Particle count, shape, and size from 2 µm. and above can be determined by using a particle size distribution with 8 customizable size classes. The SPE raman. ID + metal. ID 20 implements all the features of the SPE CSS plus automated identification of individual organic and inorganic particles from 20 µm. and larger. After the particles are sized and counted they are automatically selected for the integrated LIBS spectroscopy and interpretation.
An integrated spectra library is available for the following elements: Na, Mg, Al, Si, P, S, Cl, K, Ca, Ti, Cr, Mn, Fe, Ni, Cu, Zn, Mo, Sn, Ba, Pb, Co, Fe, V, W, over 100 alloys, and much more. With the integrated database search software the particle spectra are interpreted and metallic material identified. All the raw data including raw images, analyzed images, particle morphology, particle stitch merging, and spectra are then stored in a “results file” in compliance with 21 CFR Part 11.
For all inorganic and organic particle materials a fingerprint is generated and the resulting spectra is automatically compared with an integrated database.
The equipment is designed to conduct parts cleanliness testing as well as identify foreign particles larger than 5 µm. in medical devices and sterile pharmaceutical products such as parenterals with the use of integrated Raman and, or LIBS (metal.ID) spectroscopy. Particle samples are collected on a filter membrane e.g. Cellulose Nitrate, similar filter papers, or on filtr.AID patches.
