Agilent Beam Enhancer Technology for High-Speed Transmission Raman Spectroscopy

Transmission Raman spectroscopy (TRS) is a powerful pharmaceutical analytical technique for whole-sample nondestructive capsule and tablet analysis. This Application Note describes a measurement speed increase of >10x, without increasing laser power, using an Agilent beam enhancer. With an enhancer, the active pharmaceutical ingredient % w/w in tablets was determined in as little as 10 ms.
