Description
Art photonics' Fiber Optic ATR-Probes with Shaft-in-Shaft Design offer a robust and flexible solution for in-situ spectroscopy across UV, Visible, Near-IR, and Mid-IR spectral ranges. These ATR (Attenuated Total Reflectance) probes are engineered for process environments requiring frequent sterilization, cleaning, or rapid reconfiguration.
The innovative shaft-in-shaft construction enables easy detachment of the fiber assembly without removing the entire probe from the reactor or process line, significantly simplifying maintenance and reducing downtime. The sealed operational shaft can remain in place during sterilization or decontamination procedures, offering unmatched convenience and hygiene control.
Available with Diamond (Di-ATR), Silicon (Si-ATR), or Zirconia (ZrO₂-ATR) tips and compatible with multiple process interfaces such as Ceramat-FOS or SensoGate-FOS, these probes are highly customizable in length, diameter, and fiber type. Their rugged construction using Hastelloy C22 and liquid-tight conduit tubes ensures high chemical and pressure resistance, making them ideal for demanding applications in chemical processing, pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, and food manufacturing.
