Evaluating and identifying chemical properties of liquids, powders, solids, gels, suspensions and emulsion materials, the VPS-1000 uses a non-destructive Raman laser to penetrate through a flow cell or sight glass, with no sample contact. It uses software to support real time, in-process quality control decisions in terms useful for line operators. Observations, analyses, and decisions are retained per industry standards for quality and regulatory compliance. This system allows users to make instant quality control decisions on the go.
