Determination of liquid-borne particles
System utilises image analysis in conjunction with Raman spectroscopy to perform size and chemical composition analysis on individual particles deposited on a membrane filter
Detecting and determining the source of particle contamination in high purity liquids such as injectible drugs is of utmost importance Until now this process has been costly, time consuming and required highly trained operators

Rap.ID has been nominated for the Innovation Award of the German Economy in the start-up category, for its novel particle explorer.
The time lag between contamination and detection using current external measurement labs can be up to 14 days.
A fast, reliable and easy to use method, which could be utilised in-house, would be of great value.
Rap-id Particle Systems announces the introduction of its Liquid Particle Explorer.
Designed for pharmaceutical quality control, and operating under the guidelines of CFR 21 part 11, the LPE is fast, reliable and easy to operate.
The system utilises image analysis in conjunction with Raman spectroscopy to perform size and chemical composition analysis on individual particles deposited on a membrane filter.
Single particles as small as 2µm are detected and measured in minutes.
The results of a complete analysis and identification of all particles contained in a filter sample are available in as little as 30 minutes.
Calibration and validation of the LPE is fast and simple.
