ASTG’s FT2-FTIR Solution

Analytical Science and Technologies Group, Inc. (ASTG) delivers cutting-edge analytical solutions that support quality, safety, and compliance across demanding industries—including the beverage sector. One of its flagship technologies, the FT2-FTIR, is a fully automated, high-performance Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) gas analyzer engineered for continuous, real-time monitoring of multiple gas species.

In beverage manufacturing, precise control of gases such as CO₂, NOx, SO₂, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) is critical. Carbon dioxide levels directly impact carbonation quality, fermentation efficiency, and worker safety, while trace contaminants can affect flavor integrity and regulatory compliance. The ASTG FT2-FTIR addresses these challenges by transmitting broadband infrared light through a temperature-controlled, multi-pass gas cell, generating high-resolution spectra that identify and quantify gases at sub-ppm levels.

Powered by a rock-solid Michelson interferometer, advanced PLS chemometric algorithms, and a thermoelectrically cooled MCT detector, the FT2-FTIR delivers fast, accurate measurements even in complex gas mixtures. Its wide spectral range (4,300–750 cm⁻¹), remote access, and 24/7 unattended operation make it ideal for beverage process control, emissions monitoring, and sustainability initiatives.
