With the push towards 100% inspection and lean manufacturing,
Progeny offers Avantor customers an efficient tool to reduce costs
and mitigate risks within a manufacturer’s quality control process.
Traditional processes can include laboratory analysis, a costly and
time-consuming step. By implementing an analysis method at the
point of need with a handheld tool that can be used by a
non-scientist, manufacturers can benefit from a more efficient
method to identify or verify their material in a shorter time
frame, and at a lower cost when compared to laboratory
analysis.
With its advantage of utilizing a 1064 nm Raman laser
excitation, Progeny offers Avantor customers a unique solution for
reducing fluorescence interference. This is a common obstacle among
traditional handheld Raman devices. Users now have the ability to
analyze a wider range of materials and obtain interference-free
results in seconds. Other benefits include:
- The ability to scan through translucent packaging – including
polymer and glass materials
- A touchscreen, smartphone-inspired user interface
- Sealed, IP-68 rating for rugged warehouse use
- An automated, secure data transfer method via RigakuSync 3
software
- An optional docking station offers uninterrupted, versatile,
and stationary operation while providing a continuous charge
- Integrated digital camera/barcode reader with 21 CFR Part 11
compliant electronic signature capability
- IQ/OQ/PQ implementation procedures available
“Avantor is a leading global provider of mission-critical
products and services to customers in the life sciences and
advanced technologies industries. Rigaku’s Progeny handheld Raman
analyzer is a perfect fit for several key stages of the research,
development and production activities in those industries.” said
Chris Langford, Vice President of Global Sales & Marketing at
Rigaku Analytical Devices. “Combining the unique capabilities of
the Rigaku’s Progeny handheld Raman analyzer with Avantor’s
expansive channel access and deep customer relationships adds a
vital new capability to the full scope of solutions they currently
