Said to be more than 1000 times more sensitive than NIR and with far better selectivity, enabling detection of extremely low levels of specific components
The new BioView process monitoring system is based on multi-channel fluorescence detection.
It is said to be more than 1000 times more sensitive than NIR and has far better selectivity, enabling detection of extremely low levels of specific components such as flavinoids, amino acids, NADH, GFP, phenolics and many other compounds.
The BioView provides real two-dimensional 'fingerprints' of highly complex trace compounds and enables real-time, on-line monitoring of these within a process.
Great care has been taken in the design and manufacture of BioView to optimise light throughput and therefore provide maximum benefits in terms of sensitivity, says Analytik: "this is certainly no benchtop fluorimeter with fibre-optics added".
The sensor head itself can be adapted to a wide variety of different products and processes from laboratory to large scale production.
It is ruggedly engineered to work effectively in the most aggressive and harsh production environments.
Comprehensive software provides on-line or off-line linkage with all the major commercially available chemometrics software packages.
