Kaiser Raman Pilot-E Probe
Offering sampling versatility in the lab and reduced cost for the process environment
The single cable design of the Kaiser Raman Pilot-E probe simplifies installation, eliminates risk scenarios where the interlock is separate from the laser excitation, and minimizes installed cost for long fiber runs in the process environment. All Pilot probes utilize a hybrid electro/optical fiber cable assembly to carry the analytical signal and the safety interlock in a single easy to install cable. Kaiser Raman Pilot probes are ideal for:
- Pharmaceutical manufacturing facilities in glass-lined reactors as part of a Quality-by-Design (QbD) solution using Process Analytical Technology (PAT) analyzers (does not require reactor modification)
- Chemical facilities to measure batch or continuous flow production
For direct measurements in cryogenic fluids, an optimized cryogenic version of the Pilot-E probe is available.
