Every stage, every spectrum: Confident FTIR verification with the Lyza Series

Anton Paar’s Lyza series FTIR spectrometers provide a rapid, reliable, and non-destructive solution for quality control across the entire workflow. The permanently aligned interferometer ensures stable spectral performance and is backed by a 15-year warranty on key optical components, giving laboratories long-term reliability and confidence.

“For pharmaceutical and medical cannabis testing laboratories, confirming the identity and quality of materials, intermediates, and final formulations at every stage is essential to ensuring batch integrity,” said Uršula Vide, PhD, Product Manager for the Lyza series.

“High sample volumes and complex workflows demand analytical tools that deliver fast, consistent, and traceable results while supporting compliant manufacturing across multiple users and shifts. With Lyza, we designed a system that meets these challenges head-on – offering stability, simplicity, and the standardised approach laboratories need as their testing requirements evolve.”

In pharmaceutical applications, the Lyza series simplifies method setup and standardises measurements through guided workflows and methods at the push of a button. Its modular, plug-and-play cell design allows seamless switching between ATR, transmission, and other techniques to accommodate diverse sample types. Lyza also supports both commercially available and customisable spectral libraries, enabling laboratories to tailor QC protocols to their specific materials, intermediates, and final products.

For medical cannabis and cannabinoid-based formulations, Lyza offers a fast and robust alternative to traditional chromatographic methods for CBD quantification. ATR technology enables direct measurement of cannabis oils with minimal sample preparation – no dilution, reagents, or complex steps. Characteristic absorbance peaks correlate directly with cannabidiol content, enabling precise and reproducible quantification across a wide concentration range. Additionally, Anton Paar’s proprietary CBD oil library ensures reliable verification of finished products.

Integrated with Spectroscopy Suite Premium, Lyza delivers fully compliant and traceable operation. Features such as audit trails, user management, electronic signatures, method versioning, and structured result reporting support regulatory compliance, including 21 CFR Part 11. Combined with stable FTIR performance and guided workflows, the Lyza series provides laboratories a future-ready solution for confident material verification.
