Pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical manufacturers can now verify the identity of ionic salts in the warehouse in a matter of seconds.

The Thermo Scientific IonicX portable XRF analyser is designed to identify and authenticate the top five salts used in biopharmaceutical and pharmaceutical manufacturing – sodium chloride (NaCl), potassium chloride (KCl), magnesium chloride (MgCl2), calcium chloride (CaCl2) and sodium hydroxide (NaOH). This capability can reduce the time and cost of pharmaceutical materials testing while helping to maintain regulatory compliance and rigorous quality standards.

The technology used by the IonicX XRF analyser helps save time and money that is otherwise used on conventional analysis techniques. This is achieved by directly putting laboratory-grade capabilities into the hands of raw material and quality control managers irrespective of their location in the manufacturing facility.
