StellarNet, Inc. has launched the StellarScope AM/PA Analyzer, a fully automated system combining particle imaging and Raman spectroscopy to detect and chemically identify microscopic contaminants, including microplastics, as small as one micron.
Detecting Contaminants In-house
The system is designed for industries requiring precise quality control, such as cosmetics, personal care, nutraceuticals and consumer goods. According to the company, it enables in-house, real-time analysis of trace particles in products like creams, powders and raw materials, reducing reliance on outsourced lab testing.
The StellarScope AM/PA thereby addresses challenges in detecting contaminants, providing a scalable, efficient solution for quality assurance across various industries.
Key Device Features
Highlighted features include the following.
- Integrated imaging and Raman spectroscopy: Combines morphological and chemical analysis in one system.
- AI-driven classification: Powered by Particle Wizard software for automated material identification.
- Cost-effective design: Offers high-performance analysis at nearly half the cost of comparable systems, according to the company.
- Versatile applications: Includes microplastic detection and graphene quality control.
