CompleteID software provides fast and simple PASS / FAIL results, helping to achieve leaner manufacturing processes and lower costs per analysis without compromising quality.

1064nm laser for superior Raman performance

Unlike other portable Raman spectrometers, Progeny successfully minimizes sample-induced fluorescence interference with the use of a unique 1064nm excitation laser for expanded positive material identification. Sample moisture content is not an issue either. Progeny handheld Raman analyzer delivers the industry’s widest and most comprehensive range of raw material identification and finished pharmaceutical product authentication in a handheld, sealed platform.

Regulatory Compliance

Manufacturers must comply with rigorous requirements to ensure consistent production of safe and effective products. Progeny handheld Raman facilitates regulatory compliance by providing a complete IQ/OQ/PQ protocol package, unique and truly compliant 21 CFR Part 11 digital signatures and an integrated camera for barcode reading to ensure error free data entry.

Progeny is an FDA 1040, USP, EP, MHRA GMP approved technique.

Progeny applications

Cell Culture Media Identification in Biopharmaceuticals with Handheld Raman

With a higher excitation wavelength, generated by the handheld Progeny 1064nm Raman analyzer, signal-blocking fluorescence is minimized.

cGMP, Regulatory Compliance and Brand Protection

Counterfeit pharmaceutical products are a growing global problem and a concern for both manufacturers and consumers. The global trade in counterfeit goods is booming, with a 2007 report from the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) putting a value of counterfeit goods crossing international borders at more than $250 billion.

Modern & Portable Laboratory

Today’s laboratories are being built and redesigned to promote workflow efficiency and not constrain workers and their activities. As technology continues to advance, large and outdated equipment is being replaced with smaller and more advanced instrumentation. Traditional benchtop units limit the flexibility of modern laboratories to adopt a collaborative and interdisciplinary approach to data collection and analysis.

Streamlined Raw Material Identification

Progeny 1064 nm handheld Raman spectrometer broadens the analysis range for pharmaceutical, biopharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and cosmetic raw materials; enabling manufacturers to achieve positive raw material identification
