    Abstract: A method of spectroscopic analysis includes: collecting a set of calibration spectra for calibration gas samples by scanning a sample range of wavelengths; calculating a first concentration of a target analyte and first concentrations of background components for each calibration spectrum using a multivariant algorithm; modeling an ideal concentration of the target analyte as a function of the first concentrations using a correlative model; collecting a field spectrum for an unknown field gas sample, wherein the field gas sample includes the target analyte and at least some of the background components; calculating a second concentration of the target analyte and second concentrations the background components for the field spectrum using the multivariant algorithm; correcting the second concentration of the target analyte using the correlative model and second concentrations of the background components; and determining a corrected target analyte concentration in the field gas sample based on the corrected second concentration.

    Abstract: Flowcells and Raman analysis systems provide improved signal collection dynamics through increased solid-angle geometries and improved numerical aperture for near-diffraction-limited performance. A combined excitation/collection beam passes through a first optical material, a sample conduit and a second optical material. A concave reflective aspheric surface focuses and re-collimates the combined beam to and from a region of the sample within the conduit. The optical materials may comprise separate windows or may integrally form sidewalls the conduit. The reflective surface may be spaced apart from the second window or may be integrally formed with the second optical material. The focused region in the sample may approximate a point or a line, and at least a portion of the interior wall of the conduit may be reflective, causing the combined beam to pass through the sample region more than once to enhance collection efficiency.

    Abstract: A method for determining an amount of a Raman-invisible gas in a multi-component gas stream includes performing a first and second absolute Raman analysis on the gas stream. A decrease in the absolute Raman bands from the first analysis to the second analysis is attributed to an increase of the Raman-invisible gas in the gas stream. The amount of the Raman-invisible gas is calculated from the difference between the first and second sets of Raman bands. The calculation of the Raman-invisible gas is verified via a measurement and a calculation of a secondary property of the gas stream such as the thermal conductivity of the gas stream or the density of the gas stream.

    Abstract: A method of characterizing and monitoring a pressing process includes acquiring online Raman spectra of a juice pressing process within a vessel at different times during the pressing process to generate a training data set; acquiring physical samples from pressing process near in time to the acquired Raman spectra; performing offline measurements of the target analyte properties and/or compositions using an assay measurement technique; generating a correlative model of the target analyte such that spectral changes in the training data set correlate with the offline measurements of the target analyte properties and/or compositions; acquiring online Raman spectra of a subsequent run of the pressing process within the vessel at different times during the run to generate a process data set; and applying the correlative model to the process data set to qualitatively and/or quantitatively predict a value of a property and/or composition of the target analyte.
