Transmission Measurements Part II: MIR TRANSMISSION SPECTROSCOPY
Transmission spectroscopy is a widespread analysis technique that consists in measuring the absorption produced by a given sample when a beam of infrared light goes through them. Transmission spectroscopy applies mostly to liquids and gases, yet pressed powders or thin-films might also be characterized using this methodology. Besides spectroscopic measurements, transmission measurements are also useful to evaluate the properties of optical components, such as windows and filters. Arcoptix offers many solutions to perform transmission spectroscopy that rely either on our FT NIR or MIR FTIR instruments.

Point-of-Use Dilution Applications: Ensuring Precision and Efficiency
In industries where precise chemical mixing is critical, point-of-use dilution systems offer significant advantages. These systems are designed to mix concentrated chemicals with a solvent (often water) at the point of use, ensuring the correct dilution ratio is achieved right before application. This method contrasts with batch dilution, where large volumes are mixed and stored, potentially leading to inconsistencies and waste.
Commonly Asked Questions for Turbine Flow Meters

Case Study: Optimizing Fermentation with Precise Fluid Management
A biopharmaceutical company faced challenges in their fermentation processes, primarily focusing on maintaining precise control over fluid handling, ensuring consistency, and enhancing efficiency to boost harvest yield while minimizing waste. Precise delivery of five critical fluids—growth media, acids, bases, and anti-foam agents—was essential to prevent dosing errors that could disrupt the fermentation process and affect product quality.
Diaphragm Pumps vs. Peristaltic Metering Pumps
Pumps play a crucial role in various industries, from chemical processing to pharmaceuticals, food and beverage production, and water treatment. Two common types of metering pumps used in these applications are diaphragm pumps and peristaltic pumps. While both serve the purpose of moving fluids with precision, they operate on different principles and offer distinct advantages and disadvantages. This article will delve into the key differences between diaphragm pumps and peristaltic metering pumps, including their use in medical applications.

How to Select Industrial Clamp-on Ultrasonic Flowmeter?
Clamp-on ultrasonic flowmeters are non-invasive devices used to measure the flow rate of liquids in pipes without the need for cutting into the pipe or stopping the flow. They work on the principle of ultrasonic transit-time flow measurement, which involves sending ultrasonic signals through the fluid and measuring the time it takes for the signals to travel between two transducers. By comparing the upstream and downstream transit times, the flowmeter can calculate the velocity of the fluid and, subsequently, the flow rate.
Industrial Syringe Pump Basics: Accuracy/Precision, Resolution and Flow Rate Calculation
The resolution of industrial syringe pumps refers to the smallest increment of movement or volume that the pump can achieve. It is typically specified by the manufacturer and is important for applications requiring precise control over fluid delivery. To calculate the resolution of a syringe pump, you need to know the steps per revolution of the motor (if it's a stepper motor-driven pump) or the linear resolution of the pump mechanism. The linear resolution is usually given in units of distance per step (e.g., mm/step or µm/step). In this article, the basics of typical industrial syringe pumps, namely, the accuracy and precision, resolution and flow rate calculation (stepper motor driven), are briefly reviewed.
