PCM_TOOLBOX

The PCM_Toolbox (PCM = Process Chemometric Methods) is a dedicated software package including consulting services for the on-line monitoring of key variables, instrument standardization, classification of material quality, and analysis of chemical reaction data. It has many applications in Process Analytical Technology (PAT) for device suppliers as well as in the cement, chemicals, biotechnology, pharma, medicine and food-processing businesses.

The software works on the basis of spectral measurements or images (XRF, XRD, grading curve, FTIR, NIR, UV / VIS, Raman, NMR, OES, GC On-line, at-line HPLC) and / or physical measurements (T , p, pH, feed rate, heat flow, pO2, CER, OUR).

PCM_Toolbox consists of several modules for data organization and extraction of important information. This information can be used to:

• Monitor on-line the production quality including complex (multivariate) model training/testing and model maintenance/update with minimum effort (Monitoring Module)
• Standardize a new slave instrument using a database of master instruments (Standardization Module)
• Classify, identify and control the quality of raw materials, in-process materials, and finished products (Classification Module)
• Detect endpoints such as total consumption of a reactant or completed production of a desired substance, model-free without the use of an (expensive) calibration model (Detection Module)
• Study and optimize reaction systems in the laboratory (Basis, Detection, and Modeling Modules)

These modules are particularly suited to reduce the cost of process development and calibration effort. Online offers:

• PCM_Toolbox customized to your needs
• Training in chemometric methods
• Services to analyze and optimize your processes
