UV Spectra Process Analyzer

UV Spectra Process Analyzer

Multi wavelength deep UV analyzer for advanced bioprocess monitoring

The Kemtrak UV Spectra is a high performance process analyzer for real time UV absorbance measurement in demanding bioprocess and pharma applications. With user selectable wavelengths from the deep UV up to the visible range, it accurately tracks proteins, peptides, mRNA/DNA and other critical biomolecules directly in the process. The system combines high optical resolution with excellent repeatability, integrated verification and robust digital communication, which makes it ideal for both development and GMP production environments.

Key Features

-
  • Multi wavelength deep UV absorbance from 190 to 440 nm with 1 nm wavelength steps for precise method setup.

  • High resolution continuous spectrum measurement using a sensitive CMOS linear image sensor.

  • Zero dead volume hygienic measurement cells with sapphire or fused silica windows, suitable for CIP/SIP and high pressure processes.

  • Integrated calibration and verification using traceable reference standards and a dedicated verification port between sensor and cell.

  • Digital connectivity via dual Ethernet interfaces with Modbus TCP, optional Profinet and EtherNet/IP plus flexible analogue and digital I/O modules.

  • Mercury free UV light source with long service life for stable, environmentally responsible operation.
