Progeny™
The Handheld Solution for Material Verification and Authentication
The Progeny™ is the world’s first completely 1064 nm handheld Raman spectrometer, designed to seamlessly integrate into any work environment for pharmaceutical processes, including raw material identification and verification of ingredients. It is an excellent rapid working tool for counterfeiting investigations.
Mobile Raman spectroscopy for material identification and quality control
The Progeny™ is a technologically advanced mobile Raman spectrometer designed specifically for processes such as material verification and authentication. It is ideal for the analysis of powders, liquids, solids and other substances in lab-quality. Some of the outstanding features of the Progeny™ at a glance:
- Precise and sensitive analysis even through packaging
- Simple operation via a smartphone inspired user interface
- No fluorescence interference of the sample – thanks to the 1064 nm advantage
- Automatic evaluation and identification of the results
- Results within seconds
- Flexible data transfer with: WLAN, LIMS, and docking station
Unlike other portable Raman spectrometers, the Progeny™ successfully avoids sample related fluorescence interference by using a 1064 nm laser. This results in enhanced material identification, where even the water content of the sample is not an issue anymore.
Optimization of the material workflow
The Progeny™ was developed to be integrated flexibly and seamlessly into any working environment. It is successfully used in incoming goods inspection, testing of starting materials for synthesis, quality control in laboratories and clean rooms and of course in mobile laboratories. It reduces the number of steps required to make an informed and immediate decision for subsequent steps. The Complete ID software, which presents simple pass/fail results, makes this process a lot easier. An algorithm compares the measured spectrum with spectra of more than 12,000 substances in a growing and user expandable database. The Progeny™ offers:
- Optimization of the production yield through pure starting materials
- Protection against counterfeiting
- Quality Control during production
Regulatory Compliance
Producers must meet increasingly stringent requirements to ensure consistent production of safe and high quality products. Progeny™ facilitates regulatory compliance with a complete IQ/OQ/PQ protocol package, unique and compliant 21 CFR Part 11 digital signatures and an integrated camera for reading barcodes to ensure error-free data entry.
