D3 Technologies has developed a cleaning-verification procedure that cuts swab and rinse analysis times from days to hours, reducing production downtime.
The test uses D3's Klarite substrate technology and Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS).
It is a simple, easy to adopt procedure that provides reproducible results.
Klarite can detect trace quantities of analytes down to parts per billion levels.
In addition, all components in an analytical mixture can be detected simultaneously, overcoming the need to search for contaminants.
A robust calibration curve can be generated so that known analytes can be readily quantified.
Cleaning verification is an important consideration in pharmaceutical production.
