Stat Peel launches "Identifier P," an environmental monitoring device for hazardous substances contained in pharmaceuticals and supplements. Started selling "Identifier P", an environmental monitoring device for toxic substances contained in pharmaceuticals and supplements.

Stat Peel AG (Stat Peel, Switzerland) has launched the Identifier P, a detection device for the pharmaceutical and dietary supplement manufacturing industries that identifies suspended nanopowders of hazardous substances from active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and materials at the manufacturing site, detects in-process cross contamination, and identifies the risk of inhalation exposure to workers. Identifier P, a detection device that identifies the risk of inhalation exposure to workers, is now available.

Identifier P nanomaterial detector

In recent years, in the pharmaceutical, supplement, and cosmetic industries, not only APIs but also various nano-powders are used as raw materials, and various mold- and yeast-derived substances are also widely used. Some of them may contain toxic substances that can cause serious damage to internal organs (kidney and liver) if taken into the human body.

There are also many nanomaterials that can cause environmental pollution when leaked out of factories. In the past, the health hazards caused by the extensive use of asbestos in particular became a social problem. In the manufacturing industry, nanofibers and other potentially dangerous nanomaterials such as carbon nanotubes, which dramatically improve the properties of metals and plastics, are increasingly being used.

Recently, health hazards caused by toxic substances suspected of being unintentionally introduced into the manufacturing process of pharmaceutical supplements have also become an issue.

By monitoring and visualizing the presence of airborne nano hazardous substances in the manufacturing process, unintentional contamination of substances currently occurring in the process can be detected at an early stage and possible health risks to workers can be avoided in the future.

Ensuring, visualizing, and documenting a safe manufacturing site is essential to ensure a reliable manufacturing process free of cross-contamination, to achieve a safe manufacturing site, to prevent spillage outside the plant, and to fulfill the company's role in society.

Stat Peel has developed a nanomaterial collection badge that can be easily used by workers or at the work site, and a detection system, Identifier, that simultaneously provides reliable identification of nanomaterials from the badge and data management.

The company's detectors have been patented in Japan and other countries for high-precision detection of nanomaterials by Raman spectroscopy, and their high-performance sensors can detect the following dangerous nanomaterials

Active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and hazardous substances

Nanocompounds for cosmetics (BNNT, TiO2, etc.)

Carbon nanotubes (SWCNT/MWCNT) and graphene

Nanosilica particles (RCS)

Boron nitride (BN), silicon carbide (SiC), gallium nitride (GaN)

Nanocellulose fiber (CNF/CNC)

We can also provide consultation on the measurement of cross-contamination in the manufacturing process, exposure risk in the manufacturing environment, out-of-area discharge, and wastewater contamination for mold- and yeast-derived compounds such as puberulic acid, and organic fluoride compounds (PFAS). (Batch measurement using sample kits is available to determine if it is possible.)

Suspended solids are collected on a badge, allowing measurement without transporting the detector to the measurement site. Measurement badges are placed at various locations in the plant or held by workers, and once these measurement batches are collected and loaded into the Identifier at regular intervals, such as every shift, measurement is fully automated, making it possible to monitor worker exposure and analyze environmental cross-contamination without the need for special skills or training of the workers. This allows for worker exposure monitoring and analysis of environmental cross-contamination conditions without the need for special skills or training.

Data obtained from badge measurements are stored in the system through RFID-based user management and a database, enabling traceability. All measurement results are automatically converted into data, and used badges can be stored and handled as important evidence to prove the presence of environmental exposure and cross-contamination.

K.K. IRISU will be in charge of sales and support in the Japanese market, and will be offering the Identifier by StatPeel and conducting sample measurement tests.
