Cost-effective multi point monitoring.A novel refractive index A property of a material that changes the speed of light, computed as the ratio of the speed of light in a vacuum to the speed of light through the material. When light travels at an angle between two different materials, their refractive indices determine the angle of transmission (RI) measurement technology, initially developed for counter bio terrorism applications by university spinout spin·out n. An instance of spinning out: a motorist who was injured in a spinout. Stratophase, is offering a cost-effective flexible solution for integrated process control and quality assurance testing in food and drink manufacturing. The Stratophase optical sensing optical sensing, in general, any method by which information that occurs as variations in the intensity, or some other property, of light is translated into an electric signal. This is usually accomplished by the use of various photoelectric devices. chips can be used in the laboratory and for point testing in the factory. Multiple sensors can also be networked over large areas to a single readout (1) A small display device that typically shows only a few digits or a couple of lines of data. (2) Any display screen or panel. unit, offering economical multipoint measurements. As manufacturers move away from end-of-line quality checks to in-line quality assurance, the flexible configuration possibilities, the elimination of batch testing and the realtime process information offered by the Stratophase technology make it a versatile and attractive solution. The robust, self-referenced sensor chips are suitable for use in any liquid processing application including water monitoring and fermentation fermentation, process by which the living cell is able to obtain energy through the breakdown of glucose and other simple sugar molecules without requiring oxygen. Fermentation is achieved by somewhat different chemical sequences in different species of organisms. . RI measurements are regularly used in the food and drink manufacturing process to gauge sugar levels as part of the quality assurance process. With accuracy greater than one part per million the highly sensitive Adj. 1. highly sensitive - readily affected by various agents; "a highly sensitive explosive is easily exploded by a shock"; "a sensitive colloid is readily coagulated" Stratophase chip makes measuring even the minor RI variations caused by sweeteners and other ingredients possible. The ability to make multiwavelength measurements at a single point also offers the potential to 'compositional finger print' liquids, further increasing the depth of information available to the user. Stratophase has developed the SpectroSens technology based on proven science from telecoms, optics and biotech. Contact Stratophase on tel 01794 511226 or visit www.stratophase.com |
