Thermo Launches Blend Analysis NIR Solution to aid PAT Implementation

Thermo Electron Corporation has announced an addition to its portfolio of Antaris™ near-infrared (NIR) analyzers.

The Antaris™ Target Blend Analyzer is reliable and fit-for-purpose blend measurement solution available, dedicated to the real-time analysis of pharmaceutical blending processes.

The analyzer is designed to offer a spectroscopic analysis technology for the control of blend uniformity in real time.

Thermo claims that, Thermo’s Antaris Target achieves best-of-class performance, repeatability, and reliability for formulation development, process development, and production scale use in solid dosage form manufacturing, utilizing MEMS technology.

The analyzer is designed to provide the potential to improve consistency and yields in pharmaceutical tablet manufacturing lines through real-time measurement, eliminating the need for thieving and laboratory testing.

Thermo’s Antaris Target Series analyzers are equipped with the RESULT™ software platform for process analysis and measurement automation and the ValPro™ regulatory qualification package.

The Antaris Target Series shares a software, qualification, and data platform with the complete line of Antaris II, Antaris MX and EX near-infrared process analyzers. 

The one-piece design of the Antaris Target Series allows it to be easily moved from blender to blender and used on any size pharmaceutical blender bin, from laboratory scale to production scale.

This analyzer achieves high resolution measurements for accurate endpoint determination and concentration measurements using switch-free automatic data acquisition.

The Antaris Target Blend Analyzer features illumination, a washable NEMA 4X housing, wireless data transmission, fast installation, and rechargeable battery power.

In addition, the instruments are available with the longest warranty available in the industry.
