FASS, FHNW School of Life Sciences

Solubility measurement is a standard test that is required for every chemical that is produced or tested. However, measuring solubility is a time/labour-intensive process that requires substantial quantities of chemicals.

State-of-the-Art solubility measurements are either fast but inaccurate, or slow but accurate and require excess of chemicals. FASS is based on high-efficiency second harmonic scattering that combines the analytical advantages of current solubility measurements, fast and accurate, while achieving cutting edge performance in sensitivity and reliability.

FASS saves 90% of cost, 90% of measurement time, 99% of chemicals and 97% of electricity and 80% of compounds compared to the gold standard. As an optical light scattering technique, FASS is non-destructive, and combined with analytical advantages and sustainable use of chemicals and compounds, provides a disruptive innovation in solubility measurement.
