BRAVE Analytics obtains patent for Raman analysis module

Besides particle counting and sizing, BRAVE Analytics has been developing an in-flow Raman analysis module. As the BRAVE approach to Raman analysis is unique and groundbreaking, an Austrian patent has been granted and the PCT phase for the EU has now started.

The BRAVE B-Elementary Raman device provides:

• Continuous analysis in-flow directly in liquids
• With minimal or no sample preparation required
• Ideal for high-throughput screening
• Automated analysis with minimum user interaction
• Results even when fluorescence is present (sample-dependent)
• Automatic cleaning cycle that saves time and effort
• Raman analysis even on ultra-low concentrations
• Exact measurement of particle size, particle size distribution as well as particle concentration available simultaneously
• Future implementation into production processes as a PAT sensor (work in progress)

The setup will be used for the detection and identification of microplastics in water, identification of unwanted aggregates during the production of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs), non-targeted screening, identification of contamination in production plants, quality control on ultra-pure water, research into e.g. soil composition, vaccines and nanocarriers and for wastewater analysis.

Here are the specifications of the BRAVE B-Elementary Raman device:

 

Orders are already being taken for BRAVE B-Elementary, with delivery in 2025.
