DRUG DEVELOPMENT

The step from Research to Production is characterized by increasing vessel size. The length of the PolyChrome probe can be scaled up to any length.

In Production, measurement of concentrations makes automatic control possible. The PolyChrome signal performs as a check sum of the components in the liquid. Process operations such as evaporation, dilution or chemical reactions can be followed continuously. For example, degree of polymerization can be followed by a rising signal.

To adjust the length of the probe, merely extend the tube and  the two 
optical fibers accordingly.
