The MarqMetrix All-In-One Process Raman Analyzer, along with its specialized BallProbes and complete software, can be integrated into workflows to support decision-makers in biopharma and industrial industries.

Biotechnology

Real-time results for a fast-paced industry

In biotechnology, early is everything. Imagine learning that your fermentation was a success or failure weeks before your standard quality benchmark, giving you the runway to start over or the confidence to double down. That’s the power of the MarqMetrix All-In-One Process Raman Analyzer.

 

Designed to provide accurate, non-destructive results in real time, our sensitive and stable MarqMetrix All-In-One Process Raman Analyzer paired with our patented specialized fermentation Thermo Scientific MarqMetrix Process BallProbe Sampling Optic or Thermo Scientific MarqMetrix FlowCell Sampling Optic with FlowRaman technology are the keys to continuous bioprocess optimization and control.

Industrial fermentation

Industrial fermentation is developing novel answers to the world's most pressing environmental issues. A sensitive real-time measurement solution for the fermentation process is required for the sustainable manufacture of chemicals from bio-based raw materials such as corn, sugar, and starch. Process Raman Spectroscopy provides real-time analysis with process control in industrial fermentation applications.

Cultivated meat production

Agriculture accounts for around 40% of greenhouse gas emissions. Beef production contributes to climate change through methane generation (by cattle) and deforestation (for the sake of increased grazing areas). Cultivated meat companies are reducing the need to rear livestock for food by growing animal cells in bioreactors using industrial fermentation.

 

The MarqMetrix All-In-One Process Raman Analyzer enables producers to evaluate high cell densities and bioreactor yield. Our instrument’s quick response time, its non-destructive sampling methods, and the structural information it can provide make it a valuable tool for development, optimization, and process control.

  • Helps build solutions for reproducible blending and mixing

Carbon capture

Carbon dioxide gathered during industrial processes is converted into common items such as gasoline, chemicals, and rubber. To achieve the required yield and control product quality, the carbon capture and any associated fermentation processes must be continuously monitored. The MarqMetrix All-In-One Process Raman Analyzer analyzes the feed stream, analytes (nutrients), byproducts, and products in real time.

  • Optimize carbon capture – convert carbon monoxide to acetic acid and ethanol
  • Transform sugar cane to ethanol
  • Convert hydrocarbon feedstocks into high volume chemical building blocks

The MarqMetrix All-In-One Process Raman Analyzer is an important instrument for carbon capture operations as it provides high sensitivity, real-time monitoring, selective analysis, portability, and cost-effectiveness, among other advantages. Because of its versatility and ease of use, it is an appealing alternative for researchers and enterprises looking to improve carbon capture and minimize greenhouse gas emissions. The MarqMetrix All-In-One Process Raman Analyzer is a versatile tool for carbon capture operations that can monitor many types of samples; it has been used in the manufacturing of sustainable aircraft fuel (SAF), carbon capture applications, and other areas. 

Oil and gas

Quality measurement at every point-of-production

Accuracy is more important than ever in the energy and chemical sectors. Understanding the chemical composition of raw materials and the ensuring the uniformity of finished products can provide a significant competitive edge at all stages of the process.

 

The MarqMetrix All-In-One Process Raman Analyzer is a solid-state Raman spectroscopy system that can accelerate analysis; provide flexibility by measuring liquids and gases; and provide data correlated to American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), Gas Producers of America (GPA), and American Gas Association (AGA) standards. The MarqMetrix All-In-One Process Raman Analyzer, which comes equipped with the MarqMetrix BallProbe Sampling Optic utilizing our patented Thermo Scientific TouchRaman Immersion Technology, has been successfully used in midstream and downstream applications including: 

  • Monitoring the quality and composition of refined fuels
  • Identifying pollutants in biofuels
  • Evaluating natural gas streams

Refined fuel

Process Raman Spectroscopy has several applications in the energy sector. Raman field analysis is an effective technique for determining the chemical composition of natural gas in the midstream phase. The MarqMetrix All-In-One Process Raman Analyzer, a system with no moving parts, may be carried to the site of demand and swiftly assess C1-C6+, CO2, H2, and N2, allowing for real-time decision-making.

 

Refined fuel qualities such as API, benzene levels, RON, and MON must be assessed accurately and precisely in the downstream segment to allow refineries to expedite quality assurance and provide fuels to market fast. The MarqMetrix All-In-One Process Raman Analyzer can accurately, precisely, and quickly test several properties of refined fuels, which streamlines an onsite lab's analysis procedure and speeds up quality assurance.

Polymers

Process analysis and management of manufacturing processes becomes increasingly important as the polymer sector pushes the technical frontiers of lighter chemical composites and tougher materials. The MarqMetrix All-In-One Process Raman Analyzer can be used to analyze the composition and structure of polymers during production and for final product quality control. Specialized BallProbe Sampling Optic technology has been built specifically for usage at high pressure and temperature during polymer production. You can swiftly describe composition, determine structure, and optimize molecular weight in both solid and liquid forms with the The MarqMetrix All-In-One Process Raman Analyzer and BallProbe Sampling Optic. Given the severe processing environment, compositional measurements in this field must be exceedingly sensitive, stable, and accurate. The BallProbe Sampling Optic’s durable sapphire spherical lens is resistant to chemical corrosion and has been tested at high pressures and temperatures.
