Sweeb

Pharmacies are legally mandated to check the composition of all medicines they prepare in-house.

We help you do this faster, safer and without the need for chemicals.

Sweeb reveals the chemical composition of a material within seconds. No lab needed.

We created a device that helps pharmacies identify raw materials for formulations by using spectroscopy instead of complex chemical procedures.

How it works

Switch on the device and let is self- reference.

Place your sample on the measurement surface. Press down powders with the clamping arm.

Record the materials fingerprint and get immediate analytics tailored to your needs.

Benefits

Time saving of 80% compared to chromatography and melting point analysis.

Suitable for solids, liquids, powders and pastes without any sample preparation

Compact footprint smaller than a sheet of paper

Affordable price compared to other near- and mid-infrared spectrometers

Partners

Sweeb is driven by research and made possible by support from scientific institutions and innovation funding from Germany.

Technical Details

Sweeb is based on well-established spectroscopy in the mid-infrared spectral range. In this spectral region most materials feature a “molecular fingerprint”, which is characteristic for their chemical composition. We compare this data to a reference database and apply intelligent algorithms to provide you with a detailed report within seconds.

Sweeb meets the requirements of the European Pharmacopeia (PH.Eur.2.2.24) and is suitable for identity validation and batch preparations of formulations.

At the core of Sweeb is a highly sensitive detector for infrared radiation. This has proven useful for cutting-edge science in research laboratories around the world.
