Progeny

    Advanced 1064 nm Handheld Raman Spectrometer

    Perform lab-quality analysis of the widest range of solids, powders, liquids and other substances with the Rigaku Progeny 1064 nm handheld Raman analyzer. Designed to be customized and flexible for seamless integration into any work environment for:

    • Raw material identification (RMID) of pharmaceutical, nutraceutical and cosmetic ingredients
    • Verification of trial materials, chemical, solvents and cell culture media
    • Authentication of finished products and anti-counterfeit prevention

    Progeny Overview

    Streamlining material ID workflow with handheld Raman

    Progeny is a technologically advanced handheld Raman spectrometer, expertly designed for processes including incoming material receiving, the warehouse, clean room, laboratory analysis and mobile lab. With the push towards 100% raw material inspection, the Progeny handheld Raman analyzer enables users to reduce workflow steps and make immediate decisions. Progeny's software provides fast and simple PASS / FAIL results, helping to achieve leaner manufacturing processes and lower costs per analysis without compromising quality.

    1064 nm laser for superior Raman performance

    Unlike other handheld Raman spectrometers, Progeny successfully minimizes sample-induced fluorescence interference with the use of a unique 1064 nm excitation laser for expanded raw material identification. Sample moisture content is not an issue either. The Progeny handheld Raman spectrometer delivers the industry’s widest and most comprehensive range of raw material identification and finished pharmaceutical product authentication in a handheld, sealed platform.

    Regulatory compliance with handheld Raman

    Manufacturers must comply with rigorous requirements to ensure consistent production of safe and effective products. The Progeny handheld Raman analyzer facilitates regulatory compliance by providing a complete IQ/OQ/PQ protocol package, unique and truly compliant 21 CFR Part 11 digital signatures and an integrated camera for barcode reading to ensure error free data entry.

    Progeny is an FDA 1040, USP, EP, MHRA GMP approved technique.
