The Huge Variety of Applications with Optical Spectroscopy

Applications from the deep sea to outer space

Optical spectroscopy is a proven technique for directly determining ingredients as main parameters in media and measuring their concentration. Hellma products can be used for as diverse applications as the product. Solids, liquids and gases can be measured in the spectral range from UV, Vis, NIR to IR as well as Raman and fluorescence. Applications can be found in numerous industries such as (petro-) chemistry, pharmacy, food and feed, biotech or energy. However, Hellma products go beyond the classical process industry. Even if the requirements exceed the ordinary, solutions from Hellma are a good choice. From the deep sea to outer space - we use our expertise to develop the perfect solution according to your requirements.

Hellma Products in Space

Hellma products head to outer space. In the spring of 2008, a quartz-glass protein-crystallization reactor was deployed to the Columbus European Space Laboratory for the study of protein crystallization under weightlessness. It was brought to the International Space Station (ISS) on the 24th flight of the NASA Space Shuttle Atlantis. The results from these extraterrestrial experiments will help to develop efficient active substances to fight diseases back on earth.

For the most recent spaceflight in October 2018, part of the ESA-JAXA BepiColombo mission to Mercury, Hellma Materials optical crystals specialists provided a 3-inch cerium-bromide (CeBr3) scintillation crystal. It works in the gamma-ray and neutron spectrometer and is essential for planetary remote sensing.

The deep sea is an inhospitable place with no light and high pressure. But even in this environment Hellma products can provide a valuable service, for industries such as the oil production at sea. The measurement of water in petroleum effectively supports the quality control and makes it easier to comply with environmental requirements.

Only high-quality products can stand up to these extreme conditions and so the products are often developed especially for this purpose. The expertise gained in these projects continuously enters into the further development of the Hellma product range so that eventually all Hellma customers will benefit from those projects.
