OINDP & MDRS
Comparing formulations? Look beyond particle size alone.
Characterize Raman-confirmed API particles, size distributions and morphology to support test/reference formulation comparisons.
Explore formulation comparability →
Raman identification complements, but does not replace, compendial light obscuration (LO) or microscopic particle-count testing.
Your particle investigation is our starting point.
Tell us what you found and what decision you need to make. We help you choose a study, compare samples or suspected source materials, or develop a method for your product and matrix.

More than particle counts. Evidence that helps you investigate.
Identify
Determine the chemical identity of individual particles using Raman spectroscopy.
Quantify
Characterize particle counts, sizes and material-specific populations.
Compare
Examine differences between samples, batches, components and reference formulations.
Investigate
Combine particle characteristics, reference materials and analytical context to support probable-source investigations.
Optical imaging measures the particle population. Selected particles are measured by Raman to add chemical evidence where the material and sample allow.

From a particle image to chemical identity
A particle image shows appearance. Its measured Raman spectrum provides a chemical fingerprint that can be compared with reference materials. In this original example, particle 11292 was identified as polypropylene. Material identity helps focus the investigation; it does not by itself establish the contamination source.
Particle 11292 · Original particle micrograph and associated measured Raman spectrum from the H01 dataset. Raman identification: polypropylene.
