Raman vs. Mid-IR ATR Spectroscopy for In-Line Reaction Monitoring: Technical Note

Mid-infrared (mid-IR) and Raman techniques are complementary vibrational spectroscopy methods utilized extensively in Process Analytical Technology (PAT). While both probe molecular vibrations, they rely on fundamentally different optical effects: mid-IR ATR detects the absorption of mid-IR radiation, whereas Raman relies on the inelastic scattering of visible or near-infrared (NIR) laser light. For system integration in […]

Precision by Design: What Quality Control Really Looks Like at art photonics

Every fiber, cable, and probe that leaves our Berlin facility gets put under a microscope. Literally. Before a product ships, we inspect the fiber end faces for cracks and contamination, check core/clad geometry, and verify transmission against spec. On mid-IR assemblies, that means confirming losses stay within 0.2–0.3 dB/m in the 9–13 µm range — […]

CPACT Webinar: Bridging the Gap from the Lab to Real-Time Process Control

Transitioning from offline sampling to real-time, in-line monitoring remains one of the most significant bottlenecks in Process Analytical Technology (PAT) today. When process engineers are forced to wait on delayed lab results, it impacts both efficiency and process optimization. To help address this challenge, art photonics is proud to announce an upcoming webinar hosted by […]

Is Your Industrial Process Falling Behind? 5 Signs You Need In-Line Spectroscopy

Posted on: 
7 February 2025

Are outdated sampling methods delaying decisions and increasing costs in your operations? art photonics outlines five critical indicators that it's time to integrate in-line spectroscopy into your process control strategy.

1. Frequent Batch Failures Without Clear Explanation
Traditional lab testing often misses real-time fluctuations that lead to batch failures.
Our Solution: FlexiSpec Probes deliver instant chemical analysis inside reactors, enabling early detection of deviations and reducing failure rates.

2. Overburdened QA Teams Due to Offline Sampling
Manual sampling wastes time and introduces human error, overwhelming quality assurance teams.
Our Solution: FlexiSpec Fiber Probes provide non-invasive, continuous monitoring, eliminating the need for shutdowns and bottlenecks.

3. Inadequate Monitoring in Harsh Environments
Conventional probes often fail when exposed to corrosive chemicals or extreme temperatures.
Our Solution: Our ATR diamond-tipped probes are built to thrive in acids, withstand temperatures up to 250°C, and operate in high-pressure systems up to 200 Bar.

4. Decision-Making Hampered by Disconnected Data
Fragmented and delayed analytics force reactive management, causing you to miss key insights when they are needed most.
Our Solution: Integrated, real-time process monitoring unifies your data into actionable intelligence, empowering you to make proactive adjustments and optimize performance.

5. Repair Costs Outpacing Investments in Innovation
Frequent probe replacements can drain your budget, leaving fewer resources for advancing your processes.
Our Solution: FlexiSpec modular Hastelloy C22 Probes are designed for longevity, even in abrasive environments, helping to significantly reduce maintenance expenses.

The Bottom Line:
In-line spectroscopy is not merely a tool—it is a strategic advantage that enhances efficiency, safety, and cost-effectiveness in your industrial processes.
