Lab NIR-O

Reliable, Process Lab analyzer

For Remote Multi-Channel Extended Range Near-Infrared Spectroscopic Analysis

Our GUIDED WAVE™ LAB NIR-O™ full spectrum laboratory analyzer was engineered to enable calibrations developed in the lab to be moved directly to a NIR-O process analyzer in the field. This allows seamless and precise data transfer with high accuracy and reliability. The LAB NIR-O is a 6 channel near-infrared (1000-2100 nm) analyzer. It includes the Stability Monitoring System (SMS) filter and scripts for routine validation of hardware and optical performance.

The LAB NIR-O™ Analyzer is a complete system that includes a spectrometer, sampling accessories, and software for data acquisition and analysis. It uses a high-resolution grating spectrometer and a tungsten-halogen light source to achieve accurate and precise measurements over a wide spectral range (800-2500 nm).

Its modular design allows for easy integration with a variety of sampling accessories, including transmission and reflectance probes, flow cells, and gas cells. This flexibility makes it suitable for use in a wide range of industries, including chemical, pharmaceutical, food and beverage, and biotechnology.

The LAB NIR-O Analyzer is also equipped with advanced software for data acquisition and analysis, including chemometric analysis tools for multivariate calibration and prediction. This software allows users to develop custom calibration models for specific sample types, making it possible to achieve accurate and precise measurements for a wide range of applications.

SUPPORTING THE QUALITY CONTROL IN LABORATORIES

The quality control lab is often responsible for verifying the accuracy of process analyzers by reviewing grab samples. The built-in software of the LAB NIR-O allows engineers and technicians to combine reference values with sample spectra. This data can then be quickly loaded into third party chemometric tools such as Solo (Eigenvector), Pirouette™, or Unscrambler™ for additional analysis and model maintenance. Often there is an advantage to chemometric model development or model validation if the spectrometer design used in the QC lab is identical with that used in the process. Additionally, using the same probes in the QC lab as the field allows for spare parts to be shared.

CUVETTE HOLDER

Single Cuvette Holder comes with an optional, removable solid-state filter holder for easy analyzer system validation. This cuvette holder is standardized for cell pathlengths of 10mm or 20mm. It connects to any Guided Wave analyzer through a pair of intrinsically safe fiber optic cables. The cuvette holder can be configured at the time of order for operation in either the VIS-NIR spectral range or the UV-VIS spectral range.
