30  Spectroscopy LMS  Issue 2 | 2014 Rapid Pharmaceutical Testing T he Metrohm NIRS XDS MasterLab Analyzer, designed by FOSS and based on XDS near-infrared (NIR) technology, provides the next generation of dedicated NIR analysis for rapid non-destructive measurements of tablets, solids and liquids. With the MasterLab Analyzer, one can replace routine tests, reduce product hold time and virtually eliminate quarantine time. The analyser supports acquisition of spectra in an unattended mode, freeing the operator to prepare other samples and analyse data. The MasterLab Analyzer also offers pharmaceutical manufacturers a rapid and reliable test method, covering the full array of solid dosage forms, namely layered, coated or cored tablets, capsules, caplets, gel tabs and gel caps. The versatile multi-sampling mechanism of the MasterLab also offers an automated and unattended reflectance or transmission analysis of a tray of multiple tablets or vials. ⚛ Metrohm SA Contact: Ravi Issari Tel: 011-656-2686 Email: [email protected] M Quality Products for All Spectroscopy Needs erck Millipore provides a wide range of high-quality products for a wide variety of inorganic and organic spectroscopic applications. They offer high-purity acids (Suprapur® and Ultrapur®), auxiliaries (modifiers, Suprapur® salts, hydrides) for sample preparation (AAS and ICP) and CertiPUR® ICP standards, that are the worldwide standards that give reliable measuring results for the calibration in atomic spectroscopy. Spectrophotometric analysis (UV spectroscopy) requires the use of highly purified solvents and reference materials for instrument qualification. For such applications, Merck Millipore offers Uvasol® solvents that are comprehensively and stringently tested as well as CertiPUR UV/VIS standards. They also provide deuterated solvents that are required for the NMR spectroscopy. ⚛ Merck Millipore Field Marketing Manager: Gregory Deysel Tel: 011-372-5023 Email: [email protected] Wha \
