Dual-Channel Process Monitoring: Combining NIR and Raman Spectroscopy in a Single Probe

By Stanislav Perevoschikov

During active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) crystallization and drying, comprehensive process understanding demands simultaneous insight into chemical composition and solid-state structure. Operators routinely track two distinct parameters in real time: residual solvent or moisture content, and crystal polymorphism. Historically, monitoring both attributes in situ presented a practical instrumentation bottleneck. Near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy excels at quantifying water […]

Application Note: Identification of Organic and Pharmaceutical Powders

Posted on:

17 March 2026

Real-time, in-line powder identification usually means a trade-off between speed and accuracy. We proved it doesn't have to.

We recently teamed up with our Nynomic Group partner, m-u-t GmbH, to release a joint Application Note. The goal was simple: build a compact, field-ready NIR setup capable of analyzing complex organics directly in the bulk material, without pulling samples.

Here is the exact hardware stack we used to make it happen:

NIR Diffuse-Reflection Fiber Probe: Because industrial process lines are brutal, our AP12353 probe features a 12 mm Hastelloy C22 shaft and a rugged sapphire window.
Optimized Optical Design: A 19-to-1 fiber arrangement specifically designed to keep stray light to an absolute minimum, ensuring you get a clean, reliable optical signal.
The Spectrometer: m-u-t’s ultra-compact NIRONE S2.0 Fabry-Pérot spectrometer, covering the 1550-1950 nm wavelength range.
The Light Source: A broadband tungsten-halogen lamp provided by Thorlabs.

The spectral data from materials like soy protein, lactose, and acetylsalicylic acid was so clean and reproducible that we tied the classification model directly to a smartphone app for real-time readouts.

Even better, come talk hardware with us next week at Analytica 2026. We are sharing a booth with m-u-t GmbH and our sister company Avantes, so you can connect with multiple Nynomic Group experts in one place.
