Ometric Announces Breakthrough Step Toward Final Dosage Assurance for Pharmaceuticals: Real-time, In-line Monitoring of Blending Processes
Share:
COLUMBIA, S.C., March 7 -- Spectroscopy innovator Ometric Corporation announced today that its SpectrInline Processware(TM) system has demonstrated real-time, in-line, instantaneous monitoring of blending of pharmaceuticals, using patented Multivariate Optical Computing(TM) (MOC(TM))) technology.
Ometric Corporation's SpectrInline Processware(TM) provides real-time, in- line control of production processes and final product testing for the pharmaceutical, and other industries.
SpectrInline Processware(TM) achieves real-time measurement of single- digit percentage concentrations of active pharmaceutical ingredients, while mixed in blenders with buffering powders. Its rugged Multivariate Optical Computer(TM) is directly connected to the wall of the blender through a quick- connect coupling, without the need of fiber probes, which can limit measuring ability in certain applications. The Multivariate Optical Computer(TM) analyzes the compounds at the speed of light.
Ometric Corporation's Executive Vice President and Chief Technology Officer Dr. Robert Freese said the breakthrough results obtained highlight how Ometric's innovative technology can help the pharmaceutical industry pursue final dosage assurance of its products, thus minimizing recalls, reducing waste caused by time lag, and saving resources involved in current sample testing. And because the testing process is non-destructive and non-invasive, it protects personnel from unnecessary exposure to product ingredients.
Ometric will provide live demonstrations of the real-time blending of powders at PITTCON® 2006 in Orlando, Fla., from March 13 to 16. Additional demonstrations will include 100 percent analysis of 5 tablets per second, high-speed raw material analysis and high-speed liquid analysis.
The PITTCON® 2006 exposition will be held at the Orange County Convention Center. Ometric will be in Hall D, Booth # 5657. Join the countdown to real-time, in-line process control and final product testing by visiting www.ometric.com.
