Luminar 4090 Blending AOTF-NIR Spectrometer
MONITOR BLENDING FOR EVERY BATCH
Luminar 4090 Mounted on V-shape Blender
Brimrose is proud to introduce the Luminar 4090. This new AOTF-NIR spectrometer is non-destructive, rapid test device for determining BU, designed to easily mount to blenders and to allow customers to move the unit from blender to blender. The technique has been proven to prevent over or under blending, providing manufacturers with total control over the process.
Proper blending is vital to assure batch uniformity and the integrity of drug products. It is important that the Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API), excipients, and lubricants in each batch are uniform and homogeneous. A batch that is not fully blended can affect bio-availability in the end product and potentially harm the consumer.
The most common method of blending uniformity (BU) is through the use of timing and random sampling. Traditionally, the blend is run for a certain amount of time with samples taken and run through an HPLC to confirm proper ratios.
Timing methods with random sampling results in increased blend time, slower product turnovers, and waste product.
