Revolutionizing Wine Fermentation Monitoring with Fiber-Based Spectroscopy

Ever wondered how you can monitor wine fermentation in real time without disturbing the process? In our latest application note at art photonics, we explain how the combination of mid-infrared (mid-ir) and uv-vis spectroscopy with fiber-based technology is transforming fermentation analysis. Our study on Federweißer (fresh wine) revealed that key ethanol peaks become clearly visible […]

Description

art photonics offers FlexiRay® Fiber Cables for a broad Mid-Infrared spectral range 3 – 17μm. Based on Hollow Glass Waveguides, produced in house, FlexiRay® fiber cables are used in a wide range of applications including Mid-IR light delivery, spectroscopy, CO, CO2 and Quantum Cascade laser delivery. HWG cables are available with a variety of standard fiber diameters with SMA-905 connectors. Manufacturing technologies of art photonics assure precise fiber position inside the connector ferrule and a perfect surface quality of the fiber end. Before shipping, each fiber cable passes through the detailed Quality Control procedure.
