NIRWare

Efficiency in daily work

Operating a BUCHI FT-NIR spectrometer without advanced expertise is easy thanks to the intuitive NIRWare operator software. The bi-directional LIMS interface allows flexible and secure data exchange with full traceability. The suite, in combination with the NIRAnywhere software, allows centralized administration of multiple BUCHI spectrometers within a global or local company network.

Features

NIRWare Operator Interface

All measurements are performed using the NIRWare Operator. Its user interface can be tailored to users' specific needs. The integrated standard operating procedures guide users through the application. In the routine mode, only a few sample-specific entries are required, which may also be made using a barcode reader.

NIRWare Application Designer

Define your own specific application in just four easy steps. The NIRWare Application Designer enables the user interface of the NIRWare Operator to be tailored to the user's individual needs. It is possible to display all prompts and designations in a large number of different languages.

NIRWare Operator Touchscreen Interface

With the NIRWare Operator touch-screen interface, efficiency in daily work can be improved.

NIRWare Security Designer

Manage users and user groups. Especially in regulated environments, authorisations for access to the software or to individual software modules must be precisely defined. A basic precondition for this task is an integrated user management system.

Expert Advice

What are my commercial benefits of using NIR spectroscopy?

Read more about What are my commercial benefits of using NIR spectroscopy?

Research and quality control laboratories benefit from NIRS alike. While researchers can accelerate their experimentation, QC departments benefit from the ability to analyze hundreds of samples per day – both saving substantial amounts of time and money.

Do I need to calibrate my BUCHI FT-NIR spectrometer?

Read more about Do I need to calibrate my BUCHI FT-NIR spectrometer?

There is no need for instrument calibration. The term “calibration” is used in NIR with two different meanings:

Unlike other NIR instruments, the BUCHI instrument does not need to be calibrated since the accuracy is ensured by internal standards and permanent laser-aided alignment.
In NIR spectroscopy a calibration model is generally required to interpret sample data. This model needs to be developed on setup of the application. BUCHI’s NIRCal software makes it straight forward to develop robust and reliable calibrations by correlating NIR data with reference analytics.

Can NIR spectroscopy completely replace reference analytics?

Read more about Can NIR spectroscopy completely replace reference analytics?

Replace completely the reference analytics is not the target. NIR spectroscopy is a powerful technique to rapidly and reliably screen samples and therewith eliminate a lot of routine analysis. A limited amount of reference analysis is still needed to develop the initial calibration models and to periodically verify their performance.

How many parameters can be analyzed simultaneously?

Read more about How many parameters can be analyzed simultaneously?

While the number of parameters measurable within a calibration model is only limited by computing power and complexity of the analysis, it is common to analyze 15-30 properties at the same time.
