Compact optical probe for inline monitoring of particle formation (T01*)

• Subject Area: Physical Chemistry of Molecules, Liquids and Interfaces, Biophysical Chemistry
• Term: from 2020 to 2024
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 191948804

Starting from the previous work of the G2 project, we will develop a compact, robust and user-friendly immersion probe for particle analysis based on angular resolved laser light scattering. The waveguide based detection of scattered light forms the basis of the new analytical instrument. We will develop the technology together with a strong partner from the industry, the company Hellma. Different application fields both inside and outside the SFB will be studied for test and evaluation of the new probe.
