Linköping University has a long tradition of sensor development. The research group behind ArgusEye has developed a sensor using fiber optics and so-called surface plasmon resonance, which can significantly increase efficiency in pharmaceutical production. Many pharmaceuticals are very expensive to manufacture, and their production process is difficult to control. Real-time measurement enables better process control and waste reduction.
