Practical in-Line Monitoring
Apr 11 2016
Presenting at a Pittcon live demo session Keit Spectrometers highlighted results of an independent application trial of its microFTS® novel Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectrometer. The instrument was tested for sensitivity, performance and repeatability based on its ability to analyse a variety of mixtures under laboratory conditions. It has been developed with a novel optical design for improved in-line process monitoring making it a more practical instrument at an affordable cost.
Dan Wood, CEO, Keit Spectrometers, stated “The microFTS® spectrometer is smaller, lighter, and more rugged with the ability to take on significant environmental vibration as opposed to current systems that have a reputation to be overly large, sensitive to plant operating conditions and require the use of fibre optic connectors”.
“We are very pleased with the latest testing outcomes. We asked the pharmaceutical analysis experts, Chiralabs, to run a series of tests using multiple common substances to find out how consistently the microFTS® would perform. The analysis reports confirmed the microFTS®’ ability to detect and analyse common solvents used in pharmaceutical, chemical and petro-chemical industries with a very high consistency”.
The trial included the spectral analyses of ethanol in water, acetone in water, butanol in water, acetone in toluene, acetone in methanol, paracetamol in acetone.
