Raman spectroscopy is a non-destructive, non-invasive technique that is an excellent alternative to traditional process-monitoring methods that require sampling. Raman provides real-time information on the state of the bioreactor. In our previous blog post – St. Patrick’s Day at Beer&W Tek! we demonstrated how the fermentation process is monitored using an i-Raman EX, a 1064-nm laser laboratory instrument, with RIS101 Sapphire Ball Immersion Shaft. In this post, we take the next step of performing non-invasive, stand-off monitoring of the brewing process with a RTS202 Stand-off lens (Figure 1). This allows us to gather real-time information on the state of the bioreactor without the risk of disruption or contamination. Continue reading →
