Covering what InSpek does, how it works, and how to get started.
InSpek provides real-time multiparameter monitoring inside industrial processes. The system delivers continuous, in-line data on what is happening inside the process — enabling earlier detection of deviations, better process understanding, and tighter control.
Traditional monitoring relies on intermittent sampling, offline lab analysis, and delayed results. InSpek replaces this with continuous, in-line measurement and high-frequency, high-quality data. The result: earlier insight, faster decisions, and better outcomes.
Today, InSpek focuses on real-time multiparameter monitoring of metabolites and chemical compounds. The roadmap expands toward additional critical process parameters including pH, dissolved oxygen, temperature, and biomass — all integrated within a unified sensing architecture.
InSpek is a complete sensing system, including a multi-sensor probe, a control unit, and a data and analysis layer. This enables continuous data collection, interpretation, and integration into your workflow.
Not necessarily. InSpek complements and progressively replaces fragmented sensing systems by providing higher data density and real-time insight across multiple parameters. Over time, this reduces reliance on multiple separate instruments.
The system is designed for in-line integration (directly in the process) or online setups depending on constraints. We work with each partner to adapt integration to their setup.
No. The system is designed to be non-invasive, compatible with existing workflows, and suitable for continuous operation.
InSpek is designed to work across early-stage development (mL scale), pilot scale, and industrial production (1000L+). The same sensing architecture can be used across stages, supporting continuity and scale-up.
Real-time multiparameter visibility enables earlier detection of deviations, reduced batch failure risk, faster process development, and improved yield and consistency. In many cases this translates into weeks saved in development and measurable improvements in process economics.
Yes. InSpek provides a data layer that collects and structures process data, enables interpretation of signals, and supports future integration with modeling and optimization tools.
Not today. InSpek is building the data foundation required for AI-driven biomanufacturing. Hardware generates high-quality data, data enables modeling, and models enable optimization. AI is a future layer built on top of reliable sensing.
Working systems are deployed in pilot environments with ongoing PoCs with industrial partners. Commercial deployment is expanding. We work closely with partners through pilot and validation phases.
We typically begin with a discussion of your process and objectives, identification of relevant parameters, and a pilot or proof-of-concept. Contact us to discuss your process.
What you receive, how to configure it, and what to expect after deployment.
You receive a complete sensing system including a sensing probe (installed in-line or connected to the process), a control unit for signal acquisition, and a software interface for measurement control and real-time data visualization. The system is configured based on your process and measurement needs.
You don’t need to decide upfront. We work with you to identify the most critical parameters, define the right sensing configuration, and adapt the system to your process setup. The system is modular and evolves with your needs.
Yes. The system is designed to be expandable. Start with multiparameter monitoring and add additional sensing capabilities over time — no need to replace the system.
Integration depends on your setup, but the system is designed to be compatible with existing processes, deployable in-line or online, and adaptable to different reactor configurations. We support integration during pilot phases.
In many cases it reduces reliance on offline sampling and lab-based analysis. It can complement existing tools initially, then progressively replace parts of the workflow.
Continuous, real-time process data with high-frequency measurements and direct insight into process dynamics. This replaces snapshot-based measurement with continuous visibility.
In pilot setups, value typically comes from early detection of deviations, increased process understanding, and faster iteration cycles. Impact increases as the system is integrated into workflows.
Yes. Systems are deployed in pilot environments with ongoing collaborations with industrial partners. We are expanding toward broader commercial deployment.
Deep dives on Raman spectroscopy, photonic integration, and the sensing architecture.
Raman enables direct molecular measurement — it identifies compounds based on molecular structure, measures multiple species simultaneously, and works in real time without sampling. It provides a level of process insight not accessible through traditional sensors.
Photonic integration allows optical measurement systems to be miniaturized, more robust, and scalable. This is what makes continuous, in-line molecular monitoring practical in industrial environments.
Traditional spectroscopy systems are often bulky, offline or at-line, and difficult to scale. InSpek integrates sensing into a compact, process-ready system designed for continuous operation inside the process.
Yes. The system is designed as a multiparameter sensing platform — molecular sensing today, with expansion toward additional chemical and physical parameters — all within a unified architecture.
The underlying technologies (Raman, photonics) are well-established. InSpek’s innovation is integration, miniaturization, and continuous in-line deployment — bringing these capabilities out of the lab and into industrial processes.
Because it required advances in photonic integration, system-level design (not just sensors), and the ability to operate reliably in real process environments. These are only now becoming viable at scale.
