Raman Spectroscopy in Process Control

Raman spectroscopy has gained a lot of interest in recent years. Capable of yielding chemical identification/quantification information, it is a possible alternative to the more wide-spread, complimentary techniques of FT-IR and near-IR spectroscopy. tec5USA specializes in UV-VIS-NIR and Raman spectroscopic instrumentation for process control. Their Systems Product Manager discusses Raman spectroscopy and some of the challenges of incorporating this method into process control.

Monitoring Sugar Consumption and Ethanol Production During Yeast Fermentation Using a Raman Plate Reader and Multivariate Analysis
This column shows that a Raman plate reader paired with partial least squares regression can simultaneously quantify glucose, fructose, sucrose, and ethanol in yeast fermentation samples, using turbidity-matched calibration standards to correct for yeast-induced turbidity, and offers a rapid, label-free, high-throughput method for tracking sugar consumption and ethanol production in strain screening, media optimization, and process development.
Highly Substituted Benzene Rings—The Rest of the Story II: Spectra
This column, the second installment on highly substituted benzene rings, shows that tri- and tetra-substituted substitution patterns can be distinguished by whether the ring bending peak is present and by the position of the in-phase aryl C-H wagging peak, which shifts according to how many adjacent hydrogens the ring carries.
