Refractometry: a valuable PAT Tool for pharmacy and biotechnology

Refractometry is a crucial Process Analytical Technology (PAT) in pharmaceuticals and biotechnology. It provides continuous, real-time monitoring of the concentration of dissolved substances, which is essential for both batch and continuous production processes. This contributes to consistent quality, more efficient processes and fewer human errors.

The technology is applied in various fields such as evaporation, fermentation, extraction and quality control of finished products. Inline refractometers, such as those from VAISALA K-Patents, are easy to integrate and meet the strict hygienic and technical requirements of the industry, making them suitable for scale-up and direct installation in process pipelines without the need for sampling or sample preparation.
