NEAR INFRARED SPECTROSCOPY SYSTEM

DON’T BE FOOLED BY APPEARANCES

SEA Vision brand new Near InfraRed (NIR) solution HarleNIR is based on Harlequin blister control system. The new revolutionary system is able to perform a chemical composition inspection on pharmaceutical products during the production process.

Thanks to integrated imaging technology HarleNIR can distinguish products directly from their active ingredients. The spectral control acquires the value of spectral bands for each single pixel of an image, in order to identify and distinguish similar products not in terms of shape and colour but in terms of chemical compound.

Thanks NIR Near InfraRed chemical analysis, it is then possible to:

identify drugs with different active principle (qualitative analysis)
identify drugs with different dosage or measure their active ingredient uniformity distribution (quantitative analysis)

TECHNICAL INFORMATION:

In-line API inspection
Non-destructive analysis
100% of products inspected
Analysis of multiple components at the same time
Accurate results in real time
Image acquisition speed performance up to 15000 frame/sec

The naked eye is not a reliable guide: HarleNIR hyperspectral system is the solution

HarleNIR is the solution that combines standard vision control features with a hyperspectral system working in the Near-InfraRed spectral band. It detect tablets with similar shape/colour but with different chemical composition or incorrect API dosage or distribution. JOIN US to learn more.

THE EXPERT INTERVIEWED

Even behind an apparently perfect product, great risks can be hidden. Watch here the full interview to Vittorio Calbucci, HarleNIR Specialist, physicist, part of our R&D team, and expert of #Spectroscopy and #ChemicalImaging applied to the #pharmaceutical production.

In this video Vittorio explains how we can distinguish two tablets having the same colour and shape, but different API, using HarleNIR.

ANIMATION VIDEO

The HarleNIR system is part of the so-called #PAT Tools, or non-destructive controls, used to guarantee both production lines efficiency and pharmaceutical products quality.

It is a technology that allows the analysis of the finished product directly in the production line, avoiding sampling and, therefore, verifying 100% of the production.

HARLENIR TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

Thanks to NIR technology it is possible to perform common pharmaceutical quality-controls on drugs. The HarleNIR hyperspectral system uses the chemical compound presents inside a particular sample to distinguish and identify materials. Traditionally QA has relied on laboratory-based analytical techniques which can be now handled at one time to obtain 100% safe products. Find Below the system technical specifications.

SPECTRAL RANGE	900 – 1700 nm
SPECTRAL BANDS	224
SPECTRAL RESOLUTION	3.5 nm
