(PATMAN Begins) :D
by Phil Doherty, AcuitistechGreat! You have found yourself here because you are curious about PAT and would really like to know if it is for you. Or… you’ve tried PAT and found it harder than it sounded when you bought an analyzer and you need to find more knowledge to make it work for your application.
You did your homework, read around the web, watched some Youtube videos and maybe even talked your boss into sending you on a learning course to become the resident PAT expert for your company.
Whether you’re excited or scared (or both!) the good news is that, regardless of how you got here, you’ve come to the right place to get help to make NIR work hard for you and your organisation!
If you are measuring solids or liquids or gases, each matter phase presents its own unique set of challenges to getting a good robust analytical measurement result in or near real time. If you’re here checking out Sentronic, then you’ve more than likely have a challenge measuring chemical properties in solids product streams in process that require reliable fast stable spectroscopic measurements in NIR. Sentronic’s innovative patented process probe technology is uniquely suited to measuring moving powder streams robustly even in a factory environment where vibration is present.
Sentronic spectrometers have been trusted for 3 decades by users in Pharmaceutical production. Their Diode Array Detector (DAD) and MEMS based near infrared spectrometer have formed the backbone of the development and manufacturing of many batch and continuous processes in pharmaceutical solid oral dose medicines production on 5 continents.
In addition to great hardware, Sentronic instruments come with 21CFR compliant Sentrosuite software that is intuitive and easy to use. The instrument control software may also be controlled by OPC-DA and has been successfully integrated into 3rd party PAT platforms such as Siemen SiPAT, Optimal SynTQ and KAX Group ProAxesS.
Whatever your requirements are, feel to book a short consultation with Sentronic’s friendly application engineers, ask them to get connected into their network of trusted partners or contact the author!
