In the high-stakes environment of complex chemical processing, the ability to distinguish and quantify components like ethanol and methanol in real-time is often the deciding factor between a strictly controlled reaction and an off-spec batch. Traditionally, operators have relied on manual extraction for laboratory analysis. However, this method introduces significant delays and safety risks that […]
Moving Beyond the Bench: In-Line FTIR Monitoring with ATR Probes For decades, Attenuated Total Reflection (ATR) has been a standard technique for FTIR spectroscopy. However, most users are restricted to standard ATR inserts or benchtop accessories. While effective for static lab samples, these setups introduce a critical bottleneck: the sample must be extracted from the […]

Utilization of New Processing Concepts to Support the Demand for Sustainable Materials in a Circular Economy, often enabled by Exploring New Reaction Routes for Continuous Flow Processing Aided by Real-Time Monitoring Technology
Overview and Workshop Theme: A key enabler of the move to a Circular Economy will be process intensification which offers much more efficient processing for the sustainable production of lower volume distributed waste streams to generate a broad range of new platform chemicals including a growing list of biomass mass derived molecules.
Using new chemistries and catalysts these new starting materials including nanomaterials are being converted to a range of new composites and materials with advanced properties. The 2021 Rome meeting will build on this theme of sustainable production and will focus on next generation materials.
Dr. Viacheslav Artyushenko, the President of "art photonics" GmbH will have a talk on "Fiber Spectroscopy Tools to Use in PAT Applications" on 21st March.
MIRACLE is the first mid-infrared attenuated total reflection (MIR-ATR) arthroscopy system for real-time, in-depth, clinical examination and diagnosis of degenerative joint diseases, that can be used in clinical cases where patients are recommended to undergo arthroscopy surgery.
MIRACLE device will allow orthopedics surgeons to obtain real-time information about the biochemical composition of the cartilage tissue, leading to objective decision-making on the most adequate treatment course, enhancing patient’s well-being and reducing the need for follow-up surgery.
Raman Spectroscopy Diagnostics ex-vivo to detect tumor margins in 3D using the thinnest fiber probe. Raman Needle Probe penetrates in resected tissue ex-vivo to define oral cancer (SCC) margins for 1 cm depth within 1 s – measuring each 100 ms the ratio of water / lipids bands in HW-Raman spectrum (as its growth is SCC specific biomarker).
A multispectral fiber optic probe has been developed that enables simultaneous analysis of various liquid and solid samples using attenuated total reflection mid-infrared spectroscopy and fluorimetry. The probe design was optimized using ray-tracing simulation of the light propagation.
Technical evaluation of the probe has confirmed its output signal quality that was comparable to that of respective probes for single methods. The capability of the probe to deliver complementary chemical information from the same measurement point has been illustrated using model samples of biological tissue. Qualitative analysis of the biological tissue is one of the most important applications of the developed multispectral probe.
Remote measurement of mid-IR spectra for solids and powders is now available with art photonics Touch ATR fiber optic Probe for FTIR spectrometers. The probe has a flat top ATR crystal easy to press to soft solids or powders and get spectra from the surface without sampling. Touch ATR Probes are useful in Quality Control, research, forensic and many other applications. Probes are available either in chemically durable design with Diamond tip or for laboratory.
art photonics GmbH introduces new product – ATR fiber probe for harsh and hazardous environment (high temp, pressure, pH, vibration, etc.) with 12mm diameter shaft (for industrial application) and 6mm diameter shaft (for lab applications).
These Fiber Optic ATR-Probes can be used for process-spectroscopy either in Near- or Mid-IR range for in-situ and in-line reaction monitoring in a broad temperature range from -150° to +250°C. They resist to vacuum and high pressure up to 200Bar and can be coupled with FTIR or any other IR-spectrometers and spectral sensors for the automated process control.
Main features:
High throughput in selected ranges of Near- or Mid-InfraRed spectrum
ATR-crystal shaped for immersion in liquid flow without dead zone.
Robust for industrial and lab applications up to 250°C
Resistant to high pressure (up to 200Bar)
Resistant to aggressive mixtures
Compatible with all spectrometers and automated process-interfaces
EU Business News recently awarded art photonics GmbH with the title of Global Leaders in Mid-IR Fibre Optics 2020 in the German Business Awards. We caught up with this forward-thinking fibre optics company to discover how they came to be worldwide leaders in the field of fiber photonics. Read more
Viacheslav Artyushenko, founder of art photonics GmbH, is seeking to detect tumor margins using label-free fiber spectroscopy instead of H&E stains. Surgeons struggle to identify the border where tumors end and healthy tissue begins. His company therefore develops fiber probes to enable spectroscopic distinctions of the tumor margins during operation. ‘It’s fast and can give answers to the surgeon in real time,’ Artyushenko said.
IRsweep in a collaboration with Pfizer and art photonics, have investigated the possibility of using very long mid-IR fibers in a spectroscopic setup.
These are the world’s longest mid-IR fibers ever used for spectroscopy.
IRis-F1dual comb mid-IR spectrometer from IRsweep with a laser spanning the 1200 –1290 cm1 spectral range was coupled with 10m long ATR Mid-IR fiber probe from art photonics (Berlin, Germany).
