Introduction to NIR Technology for Pharmaceuticals <Foreign Object Detection>
Rapid analysis of the components inside tablets and detection of foreign substances.
In the pharmaceutical industry, confirming the ingredients of tablets is essential to ensure product quality and safety. In particular, foreign matter contamination during the manufacturing process poses a significant problem that can lead to product quality deterioration and health risks for patients. Anritsu's NIR (Near Infrared) tablet inspection device enables high-speed inspection of tablet ingredients and allows for inline 100% inspection after tablet compression. In addition to ingredient analysis and detection of cross-contamination, it also detects biologically derived foreign matter, which has been difficult to identify until now. [Usage Scenarios] - Quality control in tablet manufacturing lines - Improved product reliability through ingredient analysis - Reduced risk of foreign matter contamination [Effects of Implementation] - Quality assurance through non-destructive 100% inspection - Increased production efficiency through high-speed inspection - Ensured safety for patients by reducing the risk of foreign matter contamination
