RAMAN
This system uses laser technology for raw material verification and identifying unknown substances.
What is the RAMAN system?
Many people think there’s only one lab at this location, but there are actually this number of labs.
What is five?
How fast does it take for NearIR to identify material?
Within seconds
In the past year, the RAMAN system validated this number of materials.
What is 43?
This lab conducts raw material inspection at the dock and distributes samples across the plant.
What is the Receiving/Inspection Lab?
Has this device been validated in the lab?
No, it is still undergoing validation.
The RAMAN system can measure materials through this type of packaging, including foils and glass vials.
What is (semi-)transparent packaging?
In this lab, finished sutures are tested for qualities such as tensile strength, knot integrity, and elongation.
What is the Physical Lab?
This device can identify materials even through containers made of these two substances.
What are plastic and glass?
The RAMAN system has reduced paperwork and time investment by shifting from this technology.
What is FTIR?
This lab operates independently and tests for bacteria, endotoxins, and particulates.
What is the Micro Lab?
How are RAMAN and NearIR similar?
- Both use laser scanning
- Can measure through packaging
- Can identify material
By allowing scanning of materials directly on this, the RAMAN system aims to eliminate lab-based testing.
What is the spool?
Dermabond, raw material, and chemical suture tests, including dye and color fastness tests, are conducted in this lab.
What is the Analytical Lab?
What factors help maximize mobility of the NearIR?
1. Lightweight
2. Portable
3. Battery Power
