Stratophase
Stratophase, a UK-based real-time biochemical measurement and
detection specialist, has announced that it is developing a multiparametric, multipoint
in-line sensor system for high-value liquid production processes. Using proprietary
SpectroSens optical microchip technology, this $1.8 million project will initially
tackle complex production processes such as those associated with active pharmaceutical
ingredients and butanol-based biofuels. Real-time and data-rich “fingerprints”
of the various manufacturing stages will be produced to enable tighter and timelier
control, which the company says will minimize waste and increase yields. This project
will focus on developing additional measurement parameters, such as spectroscopic
information, particle content, pressure and viscosity, to provide multiple measurements
at each step of the process to help identify problems as they occur.
