FT-NIR2500 FT-NIR Spectrometer for Agriculture

Description

FT-NIR Integrating Sphere for measuring solids and semi-solids in diffuse reflection. An optional sample rotator assures a high reproducibility for heterogeneous samples.

This FT-NIR with Integrating Sphere can meet the rapid detection requirements for the majority of food and agricultural products, and it can also be used for qualitative analysis of the properties of food raw materials such as origin, type, and quality.

Key Features:

• Intelligent Dynamic Interferometer: DSP-ontrolled electromagnetic drive and permanently aligned optics ensure exceptional stability and precise spectral measurements, maximizing instrument uptime and minimizing maintenance requirements.
• High-Stability Solid-State Laser: Long-life, reliable solid-state laser source provides consistent and accurate spectral output for dependable performance.
• Optimized CaF₂ Beamsplitter: Multi-layer coated calcium fluoride (CaF₂) beamsplitter specifically designed for the near-infrared region delivers maximum throughput and optimal spectral performance.
• Automatic Background Monitoring & Correction: Intelligent system automatically scans the background when temperature or humidity fluctuations exceed predefined thresholds, eliminating environmental influences and ensuring accurate results.
• Integrated OQ/PQ Validation: Compliant with international standards, the built-in OQ/PQ validation system ensures reliable instrument performance and simplifies regulatory compliance.
• Automated Model Optimization: Proprietary software automatically optimizes chemometric models, ranking results by RMSECV (Root Mean Square Error of Cross-Validation) for rapid and efficient method development.
• Expanded Spectral Range: Covers a broad spectral range from 12000～3800cm-1 (800～2600nm), enabling comprehensive analysis of diverse sample types.
• High Spectral Resolution: Achieves a resolution of ≤1cm-1, resolving fine spectral details for accurate material characterization.
• Exceptional Wavenumber Accuracy: Delivers wavenumber accuracy of ±0.02cm-1, ensuring reliable and traceable results.
• Superior Wavenumber Precision: Maintains wavenumber precision of ≤0.05cm-1, providing consistent and repeatable measurements.
