Our analyzers solve problems in the chemical industry
Dozens of conducted feasibility studies and implementations have confirmed that Raman spectroscopy has proven effective in plants facing similar challenges:
- Immediate access to process results → decisions made during the process
- Stable quality of production batches → earlier detection of deviations
- Higher efficiency of raw material and energy usage → optimal production cycles
- Full process traceability and regulatory compliance → easier audits and reporting

Why
Gekko Photonics?
Classical quality control relies on samples and laboratory analyses, which always arrive with a delay. In practice, this means decisions are made „after the fact”: when a batch is already nearing completion or when a deviation has grown into a real problem. Gekko Photonics brings quality control closer to the process—delivering continuous, repeatable data on composition and quality parameters during production, not just after it ends.
We measure inline: non-invasively, automatically, and with a frequency that enables rapid response. This allows you to stabilize the process in real time, reduce raw material losses, and relieve the laboratory of routine, manual testing. Measurement data can feed quality reports, alarms, and integrations with automation and production systems—so that quality control supports process control, rather than being just a verification step at the end.

Feasibility Assessment of Using Raman Spectroscopy for Differentiating Batches of White Paints and Identifying Mineral Filler Markers
In white paints, even minor formulation changes, particularly in the area of fillers and mineral additives, can translate into tangible production and performance parameters: viscosity, stability, opacity, whiteness, or susceptibility to sedimentation. The problem arises when differences only become apparent after a batch is completed or after a longer period, for example, in a customer complaint.
Identification of raw materials for adhesives in seconds – mobile delivery inspection with Spectrally™
In adhesive production, key raw materials – acrylate monomers, solvents, and isocyanates – arrive at the warehouse in various packaging types and from different suppliers. In practice, this necessitates rapid verification of whether the material on the pallet is exactly what was ordered and whether its purity meets the formulation requirements.
Real-time quality control of alkyd resins: correlation of viscosity and acid number with Raman spectrum
For alkyd resins in solvents, the key quality parameters—viscosity and acid number—are most commonly verified using laboratory methods on samples taken after filtration. This approach ensures precision but introduces a significant delay between production and quality decisions.
