Ghostbusters

Offentlig prosjektsammendrag

Bead manufacturing is a long and delicate multistep process involving hundreds of parameters, requiring a fine balance between producing high-performing beads and preventing unwanted aggregation. The Ghostbusters Project aims to enhance product quality by developing an innovative instrument that detects, quantifies, and characterizes aggregates. This non-destructive imaging solution will provide numerical data for statistical analysis across different productions deepening the knowledge of our processes. The project also seeks to improve processes to eliminate a rare and low-abundant side product that contributes to aggregation. Concentration methods and precise sampling strategies will be developed to understand and mitigate the formation of larger beads. The project will result in an instrument for detecting larger aggregates, significantly improving quality control and R&D capabilities. By elimination of larger beads, the project will lead to purer and more reliable products.
