Easy quality control of detergents and hand sanitizers with NIRS
The saying ?cleanliness is next to godliness? has been around for centuries. The implication is that the act of keeping our clothing, living spaces, belongings, and of course our own bodies clean elevates us above other animals, and by extension, our own baser instincts. Aside from this, it is well-known that diseases flourish in unclean conditions, and it is in our best interest as a society to keep things clean. Therefore, cleaning agents (e.g., detergents and sanitizers) are constants in our daily lives.
Many cleaning agents come in contact with our skin and are generally disposed of by means of rinsing or drying. Accordingly, they must be tested for safety reasons and to ensure the key ingredients are present in the correct quantities for quality control purposes.
