Raw Material Identification

The high-speed Luminar 5030 Miniature Handheld NIR analyzer with probes is cost effective solution for analyzing hundreds of various materials of solids, liquids, gels, and powders, etc. in warehouse, dispensaries, and field, etc. Other options for identifying raw material include the Luminar 6000 Laboratory Miniature Analyzer with probe and Luminar 3060 multiplexer. 

Fluidized Bed Operation 

The rugged solid-state Luminar 4030 Free Space NIR analyzer can be directly installed on spray or fluid-bed dryers. Real time results are clearly showed during the drying cycle. Predicted moisture values sent to Glatt^TM FBD control system for drying end point. Other options for FBD in micro-encapsulation and drying include the Luminar 5030 in “Free Space” mode and diffuse reflectance probe installed in a Glatt FBD linked to a Luminar 3060 Multiplexer spectrometer for multiple dryers.

 Blend Uniformity

Often in the manufacture of a dosage form is the blending together of the active component with the excipients to produce a homogeneous blend. The Luminar 4030 AOTF-NIR Free Space spectrometer allows for fast scanning using no moving parts and without the need to recalibrate the system. Having no moving parts is very important in the blending operation because the analyzer will be mounted on the blender with a battery pack.

Tablets Analysis

The high-speed Luminar 3077 Tablet AOTF-NIR analyzer is designed for non-contact, non-distructive measurements of chemical and physical properties of simultaneous, transmission and reflectance measurements of tablets. The tablet analyzer can be installed in an isolation room for automatic reception and discharge of tablets at programmed intervals. The analyzer includes special belt driven mechanism (FDA approved Conveyor Belt) to create total automatic solution for tablet manufactures. Other option for tablet analysis includes the Luminar 4030 for reflectance only.

 The following parameters can be measured in tablets:

• Identification of Active or Excipient
• Concentration of Active or Excipient
• Dissolution
• Moisture
• Hardness
• Disintegration
• Density
• Dosage Level
