Overview: Efficient NIR Method Development with Minimal Material

The SentroBlender is a compact unit operation simulator for method development with minimal material usage. It is fully compatible with the SentroPAT BU II and SentroPAT DA NIR process spectrometers. The device features a 4-inch hygienic flange with sapphire windows, identical to those in standard process equipment.

 

With consistent optical properties, methods developed on the SentroBlender can be seamlessly transferred to production-scale equipment. Its ability to perform precise quantitative analyses using just a few grams of material makes it ideal for rapid, resource-efficient NIR method development.

Using the SentroBlender for PLS method development

The SentroBlender and SentroPAT DA were used for a series of experiments which were reported in several posts on LinkedIn. Below you can find access to these articles.

Blending Unit Operation Simulation (Part One)

In part 1 the planned experiments to built a calibration for Magensiumstearate with a concentration of 0.5% w/w in a blend are described - and the first obersvation that was made.

Blending Unit Operation Simulation (Part Two)

In this part the learnings and corrections from part 1 are described - and the surprisingly clear spectral differences for concentrations of 0.1%, 0.5%, 1.0% and 3.0% are demonstrated.
