B&W Tek introduces the PTRam, a self-calibrating portable Raman system for process development applications.
The 19-inch rack-mountable system features a 785 nm laser with long-term stability, together with high-throughput optics. It operates with Vison software, Metrohm’s proven spectroscopic software for real-time analysis, which includes instrument control and data analysis.
PTRam is self-monitoring, with self-calibration and system performance validation tests automated in the Vision software to ensure the validity of each measurement. The system testing provides a complete instrumental status diagnosis, including Raman shift accuracy and photometric precision as set forth in USP <858>.
The system can support product and process development efforts in the chemical, petrochemical and pharmaceutical industries through the ability to increase process understanding with information-rich Raman spectral data. Predictive quantitative models can be created, or trend monitoring can be performed to reduce calibration development time before full process definition.
The PTRam is designed to be a valuable analytical tool for reaction monitoring and kinetic studies, blending and mixing, fermentation monitoring, solvent exchange, tablet coating monitoring, and other processes for real-time understanding of chemical and morphological changes as they occur. B&W Tek offers a full line of sampling probes and other accessories to optimise measurement for the systems being studied. Find more information HERE.
