Food and Drug Administration (FDA) cGMP standards require stringent inspection of dietary ingredients and nutritional supplements, and  standardized ingredients to ensure product purity. These measures call for 100% lot testing of raw materials and final product. NIR analysis is a tried and true method for material testing and identification, accepted by the FDA and United States Pharmacopeia (USP), and used widely throughout the pharmaceutical industry.
 

ASD’s portable and bench top measurement solutions offer cost-effective means for not only quality control throughout the manufacturing process, but also field analysis, and inspection of incoming raw materials. ASD analyzers and software meet compliance requirements set under 21 CFR Part 11, and guidelines for USP 1119, by providing a technology platform for validatable, qualitative and quantitative test procedures.

Cost Saving Solution

• Easily verify incoming materials, even through glass and most plastic bags and bottles
• Quickly identify inferior or counterfeit ingredients before they enter your product stream
• Monitor in-process and finished product to ensure quality and consistency
• Minimize the risk of out-of-spec product
