Hardware · Spectral water probe
AquaSpectra™ See what is in the water.
A rugged inline probe that reads the full spectral fingerprint of your process water, continuously. It shows what changed and why as it happens, not in tomorrow's lab result.
Four ways to see
More than absorbance. The chemistry.
UV-Vis
Organic load, color and turbidity
The baseline every spectral sensor readsFluorescence
Protein-like residues, fermentation activity, protein vs. humic organics
Food soil after cleaning, live fermentationNIR
Starch, sugars and product solids
Option, fitted to your applicationRaman
Molecular fingerprints of sugars and alcohols
Option, fitted to your applicationWhat it does
Built to pay for itself.
Control the process
Track batches, transitions and CIP endpoints, and run closer to target.
Cut waste
See product loss and organic load heading for the drain, while there is time to act.
Built on your samples
The spectrum is watched for change and calibrated to your own product and lab results.
