Transmission spectra of Diamond ATR probe at epoxy curing

Conical design of ATR crystal makes it easy to retract the tip out of the cured epoxy.

The transmission in the range 1 600 – 1 900 cm^-1 is enough to see absorption bands of C=O groups even using FTIR spectrometer iS5 from Thermo with DTGS detector.

Control of API-production with PIR-fiber FTIR-spectroscopy in pharma industry


	Spectra of API in hot polymer measured by Diamond cone ATR probe coupled to iC10 FTIR (MTAC)

Summary from the customer:
…The system is working as expected and has approximately 3 times the sensitivity of the OEM probe. The presence of spectral data (with acetone across the spectral range) confirms the probe performance…

Polymerization, extraction, synthesis monitoring


	Monitoring of the PVA polymerization reaction showed an abrupt rather than gradual change in concentration

Laboratory reaction monitoring

Real-time monitoring of the condensation reaction of furfural on acetone to produce 4-(2-furyl)-3-buten-2-one using a MB-Rx reaction monitor with DTGS detector, fiber optic launcher, polycrystalline fibers, ZnSe ATR probe

Laboratory reaction monitoring, intensity change

Control of anaerobic digestion on-line


ATR fiber probe immersed in biomass with process interface and coupled with FTIR spectrometer can control fermentation online to increase yield in biogas production and to prevent process failures.
