Title:
INSTRUMENT-SPECIFIC WAVENUMBER CALIBRATION IN A PROCESS ANALYTICAL TECHNOLOGY SYSTEM
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2016/120589
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A process control apparatus for a Process Analytical Technology system (204) including a knowledge management module for: - defining an external process in terms of at least one quality attribute thereof, measurable by means of a process analytical chemistry tool; - enabling a relationship to be defined between at least one process parameter of said external process and said at least one quality attribute; and - receiving data representative of said at least one quality attribute, monitoring variations in said at least one quality attribute and providing output data representative thereof for use by a control module configured to control one or more process parameters so as to control said at least one quality attribute; the apparatus including a process analytical chemistry selection function, operably communicable with a selection module (200, 202) in which is stored, in respect of one or more specified process analytical chemistry tools, respective data representative of a plurality of respective wavenumber outputs derived therefrom as a result of physically operating the or each respective process analytical chemistry tool in a plurality of respective configurations, said selection function being configured to interface with said selection module so as to enable a specified process analytical chemistry tool in a specified configuration to be selected for association with said external process and thereby cause the data representative of the wavenumber output pattern associated with said selected process analytical chemistry tool in said selected configuration to be retrieved from said selection module and applied to said knowledge management module for use thereby in generating said output data.
