PTG-NIR Powder Analysis System
The PTG-NIR is an advanced powder and granule analysis system that combines the Pharma Test PTG-S5 powder flow testing instrument with a J&M TIDAS L NIR diode array spectrometer. This system is designed to provide chemical, physical, and morphological data in a single report, making it ideal for evaluating the flow behaviors of powders and granules, and is compliant with USP <1174>, EP <2.9.36>, ISO 4324, and DIN EN 12047 standards.
Key Features:
- Combines powder flow testing with near-infrared (NIR) spectrometry for comprehensive analysis.
- Measures flow-time, cone angle, and flowability of powders and granules.
- NIR spectrometry adds the capability to analyze moisture content, API concentration, and powder homogeneity.
- Includes TIDASDAQ3 software for result display and reporting, with 21 CFR Part 11 compliance.
Construction & Operation:
- PTG-S5 measures flow behavior of powders with features like integrated balance, built-in printer, and a GMP-compliant stainless steel finish.
- NIR diode array spectrometer provides rapid, full-spectrum analysis, detecting chemical composition through fiber optic technology.
- Automated system controls powder flow tests, records data, and generates detailed reports, including powder flow charts and cone angles.
- The PTG-NIR setup also supports multiple pouring nozzles and stirrers for powders with poor flow properties.
Applications:
- QC for powder and granule consistency.
- Analysis of powder content uniformity and blending homogeneity.
- Determining flow characteristics crucial for manufacturing processes.
Advantages:
- Fast, simultaneous chemical and physical analysis.
- No moving parts in the spectrometer, ensuring long-term reliability.
- User-friendly software for routine and advanced spectrometric analysis.
- Integrated NIR spectrometer provides immediate results without sample preparation.
