Leading semiconductor test equipment supplier Advantest Corporation
(TSE: 6857, NYSE: ATE) will promote its TAS7500 family of compact and
multipurpose terahertz spectroscopic / imaging systems at SCIX (The
Great SCIentific eXchange) to be held from September 28 –
October 3 in Reno-Tahoe, NV. The SCIX conference is organized and
presented by FACSS, the Federation of Analytical Chemistry and
Spectroscopy Societies.
Advantest’s TAS7500 series is a multipurpose spectral imaging and
analysis system capable of performing rapid analysis using the unique
properties of terahertz (THz) waves. It acquires spectral data based on
modes of low energy vibration and intermolecular interaction in the THz
range, for spectroscopic analysis. Its high permeability and linearity,
offers a better solution, compared to near-infrared, for testing and
analyzing the qualities in substances.
In the technical program at SCIX, Advantest’s scientist David Heaps will
deliver a paper titled, Terahertz Mapping of Pharmaceutical
Compaction Ribbons, overviewing the capabilities of the TAS7500TS
system with an optical bench to create images of roller compaction
ribbons, and scientist Xiao Hua Zhou will present a poster titled,
Hardness Evaluation of Compressed Pharmaceutical Tablets Utilizing
Terahertz Spectroscopy and Imaging, which demonstrates that
terahertz spectroscopy is a viable alternative to the destructive
hardness testing for monitoring quality in the pharmaceutical tableting
process.
SCIX is the premier meeting for analytical chemistry and allied
sciences. The 2014 theme will focus on “Tackling the World’s Complex
Analytical Challenges.” The conference will be held at the Grand Sierra
Resort in Reno-Tahoe, NV. More information on SCIX can be found at: https://www.scixconference.org/
