Figura is a new nanotechnology instrument used to analyse liquid samples through the production process, from Wort to CIP water and everything in between. The technology uses electro-chemistry to count and size particles in a sample of liquid, building up ‘particle fingerprints’ of your products through the production process. Once your library is built, every time you run a sample you compare this against what ‘good’ looks like for you, helping you to monitor quality and consistency, and to spot production issues early. This includes their patented 24-hour method to detect micro contamination in liquids, helping you to make faster and smarter decisions about your products so that you can be as effective as possible. It can also predict filtration issues before they happen, and help you to monitor the quality of your inbound water, all with simple 10 minute tests.
Figura is a 4 year old UK based technology business, working across the food and beverage industry. Their clients include ABI, Molson Coors, Cargill and many more.
