(Mettler-Toledo: Greifensee, Switzerland) -- Mettler-Toledo Inc., a leader in the research and development of products and services in the precision instrument industry, has released its ReactIR 45P for real-time in situ IR analysis. Next-generation technology allows reaction scale-up to be studied under actual process conditions. The information it provides ensures that critical yield and product purity are maintained, saving time and money while enhancing safety and compliance in sensitive manufacturing processes.

Designed to operate in the lab as well as classified areas, ReactIR 45P uses preferred in situ monitoring to study the formation and consumption of starting materials, intermediates, and other species in reaction. However, because of its size and instrumentation, the same machine can be used as the process is scaled, eliminating the difficulty of transferring calibration data between analyzers. Not only does this enhance time-savings, chemists and engineers can also develop a direct process understanding and continue monitoring as the process is scaled. This results in fewer reaction surprises and an easier transfer of precision processes from lab to plant.
