Raman Process Analyzer: Innovation in Industrial Process Control

Raman spectroscopy is an analytical technique based on the interaction of laser light with the molecules of a sample. When the laser strikes the sample, part of the light is scattered at frequencies different from that of the original laser. These frequency differences, known as Raman shifts, are unique characteristics of each molecule, allowing precise identification and quantification of compounds.

Raman technology is widely used in sectors such as pharmaceuticals, chemicals, biotechnology, and food and beverage, where precise, real-time monitoring of various parameters is essential for optimising processes, reducing times, and standardising quality. Raman technology enables:

• Real-time monitoring of chemical reactions.
• Optimisation of mixing and dissolution processes.
• Quality control of products without the need for direct contact.
• Non-invasive analysis of the chemical composition of different matrices or products.

^{Raman Process Analyzer: Visum Raman In-Line™}

The Visum Raman In-Line™ analyzer from IRIS Technology Solutions stands out as a cutting-edge analytical tool specifically designed to monitor industrial processes in real time. Here are some key features of this equipment:

• High stability laser: Equipped with a 785 nm laser, which reduces the risk of fluorescence and ensures precise measurements in various matrices, whether solid, liquid, or semi-solid.
• High power and speed: Features a Class 4 laser with 500 mW output, allowing for better signal acquisition at different stages of the process, regardless of matrix absorption, and enabling clearer, more accurate, and faster data collection.
• Reduced warm-up time: Unlike most industrial process Raman analyzers, the laser light source has a warm-up time of only 5 minutes.
• In-Line integration: The compact and durable design of the Raman process analyzer Visum Raman In-Line™, with a measurement module and a safety and monitoring module, allows for direct integration into production lines using an immersion probe. Consult our team of experts for the full range of possibilities.
• High-resolution sensors: Uses advanced sensors that provide high spectral resolution data (11 cm⁻¹) over the 150 – 3,000 cm⁻¹ range, enabling precise identification and quantification of components even at concentrations as low as 0.01 w/w.
• Automated modelling: Our Visum Master™ software is unique in its ability to generate predictive models automatically and without expert knowledge, using a Model Builder. It also includes a version specifically for GMP, meeting all requirements of the pharmaceutical industry.
• Full connectivity: The Visum Raman In-Line™ can communicate with PLCs or information systems on the line using protocols such as OPC, Ethernet, Modbus, Profinet, and many more. Your data, wherever and however you need it.
• Versatility: Although exclusively designed for quantitative analysis in production lines, it can be mounted on a wheeled rack for use across different processes or in at-line applications. It includes a sampling module to analyse solids, liquids, or semi-solids in Falcon-type vials, with all necessary protections for safe and agile operation outside the line.

At IRIS Technology Solutions, we understand that precision and reliability are essential to the success of industrial processes. The Visum Raman In-Line™ raman process analyzer has been developed to the highest quality standards and is supported by our team of experts, who provide guidance and support to ensure successful implementation in any production environment.
