Detection and Identification of Particles

rap.ID is the world’s leading specialist in reliable isolation and identification of microparticles in industrial process environments and products.

rap.ID works according to the ISO 9001:2000 standard and uses the GAMP IV life-cycle model for programming its software. The excellent quality of the rap.ID products is a result of the company’s strong orientation towards the high standards of the pharmaceutical and medical industries, specifically the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) as promulgated by the Federal Drug Association (FDA). Therefore, all software products are 21 CFR Part 11-compliant and can be delivered with qualification documentation if requested.

The filtr.AID System

The first step of particle analysis is the reliable isolation of particles from all liquids and gases. This is guaranteed to be achieved through the use of the patented filtr.AID filtration system. The particles are located within a clearly defined area on the filter and are directly examined by the analyzer applications.

Particle Finder

The Particle Finder can analyze the effective filtration area on the filtr.AID membrane and provide full information regarding particle size distribution within just 10 seconds. The information gathered this way enables measures to be taken immediately.

Particle Explorer

The Particle Explorer Systems reliably provide: size, number, shape, and chemical composition of microparticles. With this information the main source of contamination can be identified, which enables any necessary countermeasures to be taken without delay.

Contract Analysis

These products allow rap.ID to offer a number of unique services. Usually, these services are initiated by developing and qualifying methods for particle isolation and component cleaning. Moreover, for the pharmaceutical industry and quality assurance, the validation of the method is of great importance as well. Aside from these research assignments, rap.ID also conducts many standard particle analyses, such as the determination of foreign particles in parenteral, oral, nasal, and inhalable drugs. Component cleanliness checks according to ISO 4407, VDA Vol.19 or customer-specific norms complete the wide range of services.

Service and Support

rap.ID provides documented and qualified on-site installation of its products. Basic training takes just one day and enables all laboratory staff to reliably identify particles using micro-Raman spectroscopy. Service contracts guarantee the smooth installation and calibration of the equipment in due time. On the basis of the measurement standards delivered with the appliances, the customer can always evaluate the system calibration independently. Qualified support staff can also be reached at any time by phone at +49 (0)30 65763440.
