process analytics
The Working Group Process Analytics (PAT) was founded on 31 March 2005 and is a working group of the GDCh Division of Analytical Chemistry with close professional ties to DECHEMA Gesellschaft für Chemische Technik und Biotechnologie e.V. The working group focuses on the automated analysis of ingredients and process conditions in the process industry and downstream manufacturing directly at or within process operations. Its regional focus is the DACH region, but regular exchanges with the European PAT community are also maintained.
