The analysis of 10 pharmaceutical tablets for their content uniformity takes only several minutes, as compared to one day turnaround time when using a traditional HPLC method. Method development using TRS100 for material identification and quantitative assay is generally easier than other vibrational spectroscopic techniques such as near infrared (NIR). One intrinsic advantage of TRS is its excellent specificity. Considering the unique strength of Agilent’s TRS100 in pharmaceutical analysis, I expect to see its deployment in more QC labs for product identification and assay, as well as its deployment on factory floors for real-time release testing.
