"If we could achieve a complete inspection of all tablets inside the production line..." For that concern, please utilize the "NIR Tablet Inspection Device Ariphas," which can perform a complete inspection of tablet components, mixed tablets, and foreign substances using transmitted NIR (near-infrared) technology. "The functions of Anritsu's NIR tablet inspection device may solve the challenges we currently face!" In the materials, we will introduce a "new form of quality inspection" realized by a certain pharmaceutical company in a 10-page comic. *This comic is a work of fiction and is not related to any real persons, companies, or cases.

Anritsu Corporation (President Koichi Hamada) will begin general sales of the world's first* non-destructive NIR tablet inspection device "Ariphas" using transmission-type NIR (Near Infrared Spectroscopy) for comprehensive inspection of tablet interiors on February 3, 2026. This device advances the quality evaluation of tablets, which has primarily relied on destructive sampling inspections, to a comprehensive inspection of all tablets' interiors. Since it can conduct a comprehensive inspection of the components of tablets, it can assess the uniformity of the component amounts in shipped tablets and also inspect different types of tablets. Additionally, it can detect biological foreign substances, such as hair and insects, that have been difficult to discover with conventional inspection techniques. In manufacturing environments where strict quality control and labor shortages are increasing, this device, which enables inline comprehensive inspections, is expected to improve the quality of pharmaceuticals. Furthermore, since variations in the component amounts of pharmaceuticals and supplements, as well as contamination by foreign substances, directly impact health, it will contribute to consumer safety and peace of mind. For more details, please check the [related link]. World's first*: As a comprehensive inspection device using transmission-type NIR technology. As of February 2026, according to Anritsu's research.

"Foreign matter measures" are emphasized in the pharmaceutical manufacturing process. However, it has been difficult to conduct a complete inspection of "biological foreign matter," such as hair and insects, that may have contaminated tablets. The 'NIR (Near Infrared) Tablet Inspection Device' developed by Anritsu conducts a non-destructive complete inspection of the component quantities in tablets and "biological foreign matter" like hair and insects using a transmission method. With high-speed sensing, it supports inline inspections of up to 250,000 tablets per hour, contributing to the reduction of the risk of defective products being released. For measures against foreign matter contamination in tablets, please consider the NIR Tablet Inspection Device. For more details, please download the materials or feel free to contact us.
