Current industrial practice includes frequent solution sampling and sensor probe calibration in order to monitor solution status such as pH and glucose.
Short wavelength infrared (SWIR) hyperspectral imaging has the potential to offer non-invasive and continuous monitoring solution status to cut labor cost and sampling waste in the processing lines.
Automated system for in-line, non-invasive, self-calibrated pH and/or related DO and glucose measurement in pharmaceutical processing.
By implementing non-invasive hyperspectral monitoring, an organization could reduce labor and sampling costs by minimizing manual checks, enabling automated, cost-efficient biopharmaceutical production.
Show that analytical method SWIR Hyperspectral Imaging (HIS) can predict pH and glucose concentration in aqueous solutions with R2 values larger than 0.9.
Create an innovative system and experiments to gain know-how of a new probe.
Test the new system in labs with partner participations.
