Raw Material Verification

Eliminate Warehouse Bottlenecks with Non-Destructive Raw Material Identification

Manual sampling and quarantine processes create bottlenecks in incoming goods workflows. Verify raw materials directly through transparent packaging, and through select opaque materials where technically supported, without opening the container—eliminating sampling booths, reducing sample destruction, and accelerating dock-to-stock release.

cGMP Incoming Goods Quarantine Friction

Conventional raw material identification methods rely on opening containers inside sampling booths, creating massive warehouse delays, operator risk, and substantial testing overhead.

Eliminate container opening with non-destructive Raman spectroscopy.
Designed to support PIC/S Annex 8 and FDA 21 CFR Part 211.84 release workflows.
Sampling Booth Bottlenecks
Capacity constraints & cleanroom backlogs

Physical sampling in dedicated laminar flow booths creates severe operational queues, tying up cleanroom space and requiring extensive PPE protocols for every batch arrival.

Requires dedicated Grade C/D space and continuous HVAC maintenance.
Containment/Exposure Risks
Operator safety & cross-contamination

Opening sealed containers of potent active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) or hazardous excipients introduces critical occupational exposure risks and contamination threats.

Heightened regulatory scrutiny around airborne particulate containment.
Extended Quarantine Holding Times
3 to 7-day inventory stagnation

Traditional wet chemistry, HPLC, and off-site laboratory identification methods stall warehouse turnover while raw materials await formal analytical QA release.

Directly inflates holding costs and delays manufacturing campaign start dates.
