HORIBA expands instrument offerings to support the drug pipeline from discovery to manufacturing

HORIBA’s current suite of offerings encompasses applications across the entire pharmaceutical lifecycle — from drug discovery and development to manufacturing and quality control.

HORIBA’s technologies are designed to meet the rigorous demands of pharmaceutical processes, to ensure precision, efficiency, and compliance. The newly enhanced portfolio supports key applications such as:

• Cell culture media analysis: Accurate monitoring of cell culture environments to optimize biopharmaceutical production.

• Vaccine development: Advanced analytical tools for formulation and quality control to streamline vaccine research, manufacturing, and QA/QC.

• Protein and biomolecule characterization: Precise measurement and analysis of molecular interactions critical for therapeutic development.

• Particle size and morphology: Understanding and ensuring dynamics, consistency, and quality in pharmaceutical formulations.

• Contaminant detection: Safeguarding the integrity of drug products by identifying and quantifying impurities.

HORIBA launched two new products at Pittcon Conference and Exposition 2025 to complement the current suite:

• The new Veloci™ A-TEEM BioPharma Analyzer is a unique solution for the biopharma and pharma industries that combines the selectivity of chromatography with the advantages of optical spectroscopy. This technology provides a fast, cost-effective, and user-friendly approach to component analysis and eliminates the need for traditional column-based separations.

Veloci utilizes label-free intrinsic fluorescence analysis, providing unprecedented precision and efficiency over a wide range of applications, including monoclonal antibody discrimination, cell media monitoring, vaccine characterization, protein stability analysis, and adeno-associated virus (AAV) quantification.

• The PoliSpectra Rapid Raman Plate Reader is a high-throughput Raman screening tool designed for the pharmaceutical industry that uses Raman spectroscopy to measure 96 wells in one minute. The RPR’s non-destructive sampling enables live reaction monitoring, and formulation optimization, providing high spectral quality for in-depth characterization.
