Com­pact NIR spec­tro­me­ters

as mini-labo­ra­to­ries

Near-infrared spec­tro­me­ters (NIR spec­tro­me­ters) are ana­ly­ti­cal tools that mea­su­re the inter­ac­tion of near-infrared light with a sam­ple and thus pro­vi­de insights into its mole­cu­lar struc­tu­re and composition.

Advantages over related technologies

• Pene­tra­tes deeper than UV spectrometers.
• Pro­vi­des dif­fe­rent infor­ma­ti­on than MIR spec­tro­me­ters and mea­su­res signi­fi­cant­ly fas­ter (2-3 seconds com­pared to 20 seconds for MIR spectrometers).

Areas of application and technological highlights

The­se spec­tro­me­ters are used in various industries:

• Food indus­try: com­po­si­ti­on and qua­li­ty control.
• Recy­cling indus­try: Sort­ing of mate­ri­als accor­ding to their che­mi­cal composition.
• Edu­ca­ti­on and sci­ence: rese­arch and teaching.
• Pro­duc­tion: pro­cess con­trol and qua­li­ty assurance.
• Medi­ci­ne and bio­sci­en­ces: phar­maceu­ti­cal ana­ly­sis and diagnostics.

The importance of small NIR spectrometers

Com­pact NIR spec­tro­me­ters are cru­cial for on-the-go spec­tral mea­su­re­ments and enable real-time ana­ly­sis wit­hout labo­ra­to­ry trans­por­ta­ti­on, which is bene­fi­ci­al for agri­cul­tu­re, food and phar­maceu­ti­cal indus­tries as well as envi­ron­men­tal monitoring.

The­se devices pro­vi­de pre­cise and relia­ble ana­ly­ses and sup­port qua­li­ty con­trol, pro­cess moni­to­ring and rese­arch and development.

The com­pact NIR spec­tro­me­ters offer powerful appli­ca­ti­ons for a wide ran­ge of indus­tries. This makes our solu­ti­ons essen­ti­al helpers

• for the fast and relia­ble deter­mi­na­ti­on of batch variations,
• com­pe­ti­ti­on ana­ly­sis or
• sort­ing of pro­duc­tion was­te by type.

Typi­cal ques­ti­ons are

• Is it sub­s­tance A, B or C?
• Are the deli­ver­ed goods still within the pre­de­fi­ned ran­ge of variation?

Indi­vi­du­al appli­ca­ti­ons can also be used to sol­ve tasks such as

• Deter­mi­ning the con­tent of sub­s­tance A in B
