Immersion Probes Offer in Situ Reaction Monitoring

Fibre Photonics has launched polycrystalline mid-infrared fibre optics designed to provide real-time reaction monitoring in chemical process research and development and the pharmaceutical industry. The polycrystalline mid-infrared fibre optics are flexible, durable and highly transmissive within the mid-infrared region (3300 and 550cm). As a fibre material of choice in robust ATR immersion probes, they provide the capability to accurately monitor and quantify the formation and reactive activity of key functional groups through their individual fundamental vibrations.

Fibre Photonics provides a range of ATR mid-infrared fibre-optic immersion probes as a real-time in situ reaction monitoring solution within a laboratory and production environment. Each probe can be coupled to an FTIR spectrometer by means of SMA connectors and has been designed to withstand the ever-changing requirements of a development laboratory, especially where high-throughput or scale-up reactions monitoring are required.

Several key functional groups can be investigated using the broad spectral range of one single mid-infrared immersion probe, including carbonyl, unsaturated hydrocarbon, amine and alkyl halide containing compounds. Each probe offers a real-time insight into common reactions used in the development of APIs, biofuels, fine and bulk chemicals including addition, substitution and condensation reactions as well as oxidation and reduction reactions. The close monitoring of the reactivity results in faster scale-up and reaction optimisation resulting in research and development time being saved in the laboratory.
