Technology need
Sensors for high speed contactless detection of liquids
Summary of the technological need
Electrical impedance sensor for bubble detection
Background
Manetco works on the development of small scale continuous process equipment for R&D in chemical and pharmaceutical industries. Continuous analysis without contact of the compound within the microreactor is an important challenge to validate the process efficiency.
Application domains
Lab equipments for pharmaceutical and chemical industries
Specifications
The fluid going through the microreactor need to be quickly characterise to identify the type of chemical reactant which is inside. Electrical impedance is an interesting option since I could identify, without contact, the type of liquid going through the microreactor. Bubble detection is also interesting for small scale continuous chemical process (flow chemistry and microfluidic).
