Solo Predictor – the Eigenvector software – is an easy and economical way to use PLS_Toolbox or Solo models and preprocessing online. Solo Predictor is an all-in-one product to take you from collected data to useable information. Solo Predictor offers a wide range of interfacing options to simplify connection to existing clients and data management systems. Interfaces include ActiveX, .NET, TCP/IP sockets (including HTTP), timed action, or a simple wait-for-file mode.

usePAT (ultrasound enhanced Process Analytical Technologies) uses ultrasonic fields for the improvement of in-line process monitoring applications. Radiation forces in the ultrasonic standing-wave field allow us the spatial manipulation of small particles dispersed in liquid media. The extent of the applied force depends on the particle size (1-150 µm) as well as the ratio of speed of sound and mass density of solid matter and liquid, respectively. The accurate control of particles in a process stream can contribute to the process control in different and specific ways without any need of interference or maintenance. By combining High-Throughput Raman spectrometers utilizing the HTVS of Tornado’s with soniccatch for the monitoring of fermentation processes allows for the selective measurement of either the fermentation medium or the microorganisms. The advantages are numerous. The Raman probe itself can be used to quantify multiple components in-line in the fermentation broth, without the need for additional sensors

BlazeMetrics provides multiple best-in-class PATs in a single probe. Their in-process measurements allow for better and faster process understanding as well as a next generation understanding of single & multiple dispersed phase particle systems. The Blaze attaches directly to Tornado Spectrometers, sending the Raman shifted light to the spectrometer for real-time Raman Spectroscopy measurements. To learn more about Blaze Raman and how it integrates with Tornado, click here.
