Unique Requirements of Spectroscopic Process Analysis • Use of broad spectrum optical radiation • Need to couple to complex remote instruments • Need to produce SPC plots from large arrays of data
Spectroscopic Methods Appropriate to the NeSSI Platform Samples Type – Clear liquids Methods: • Near-IR: Transmission • UV-Visible: Transmission and ATR • Raman: Backscatter • Mid-IR: ATR ?
The NeSSI Platform Objectives • Standardize and simplify systems for process analysis • Provide a system of miniature, interchangeable sample handling components • Analyzer systems close to the sampling point • Short lines, fast response • Modular assembly
