Fermentation product monitoring systems and associated methods. A fermentation product monitoring system comprises an ultrasonic transmitter configured to transmit a transmitted ultrasonic signal through a fluid; an ultrasonic receiver configured to receive a received ultrasonic signal; an automated valve configured to regulate a flow of the fluid; and a signal generation and analysis assembly configured to actuate the automated valve responsive to detecting a transition from a first fluid comprising a slurry to a second fluid comprising a non-slurry. A method of using a fermentation product monitoring system comprises transmitting a transmitted ultrasonic signal through a fluid; receiving a received ultrasonic signal; processing a received electrical signal; and actuating an automated valve to regulate a flow of the fluid responsive to a detecting that the fluid within the primary ultrasonic signal path has transitioned from a first fluid comprising a slurry to a second fluid comprising a non-slurry.

Fermentation product monitoring systems and associated methods

A method of sample collection includes collecting an analyte from a sampling surface using a rapidly curable liquid gel comprising one or more metal particles; co-aggregating the one or more metal particles from the rapidly curable liquid gel and the analyte from the sampling surface; and rapidly curing the rapidly curable liquid gel. The composition and sample preparation conditions may facilitate improved collection efficiency of analytes during environmental and forensic evidence sampling. In addition, the composition and sample preparation conditions may facilitate enhanced detection and identification of the analyte using e.g., Surface Enhanced Raman Spectrometry (SERS).
