LAB 508 UV-VIS™ Analyzer

The Benchtop or LAB 508 UV-VIS™ is a fiber optic UV-VIS spectrometer system, ideal for both laboratory and pilot plant environments. Its compact size allows for flexible placement, while its monitoring mode measures up to 16 parameters, making it perfect for a wide range of industries, including chemical and polymer plants, refining and petrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, specialty chemicals, paints and varnishes, adhesives, wastewater management, and biotech. The software runs on an external computer, connected to the analyzer via USB.

MIR RefinIR™ Analyzer

The RefinIR™ analyzer is a fully integrated laboratory autosampler and FTIR instrument, specifically designed to measure liquid hydrocarbons, including gasoline, diesel, and crude oils, in a single autosampler. The ANALECT® RefinIR™ provides automated spectral data acquisition for multiple liquid refinery stream samples, ensuring high efficiency and accuracy from crude oils to blended gasoline and diesel.

NIR LAB NIR-O™ Analyzer

The LAB NIR-O™ is designed for seamless calibration transfer from the lab to a NIR-O process analyzer in the field, ensuring high accuracy and reliability. This six-channel near-infrared (1000-2100 nm) analyzer includes a Stability Monitoring System (SMS) filter and built-in validation scripts for routine hardware and optical performance checks.

FT-NIR Diamond MX™ Analyzer

The Diamond MX™ FT-NIR analyzer is versatile, supporting both rackmount and benchtop applications. It provides fast, accurate, and stable real-time monitoring of liquids, solids, and gases—all with just one instrument. Designed for flexibility, its rackmount chassis fits standard 19” racks and supports nine different sampling devices, including transmission and gas cells, diffuse reflectance heads, fiber-optic flow-through cells, and NIR immersion probes.
