NIRMaster with food-grade PMMA Housing - 11057000

Different needs, different working environments demand different types of instrument housing. To supply a FT-NIR spectrometer which suits your needs, BUCHI offers stainless steel and food-grade PMMA housings that are ingress protected.

NIRMaster Pro with Stainless Steel Housing - 1105710

To reduce the risk of chemical contamination, the suitable housing materials should be considered. Both food-grade PMMA and stainless steel housings provide good resistance against organic acids, salt and alkalis at moderate temperatures. To prevent the risk of bacterial contamination, regular cleaning is mandatory. The NIRMaster helps you with ingress protection (IP) and hygienic easy-clean design.

Unbreakable Sample Cup - 11055058

Silicone rubber rim and hardened glass for production environment.

Expert Advice

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.

BUCHI’s FT technology combines accuracy and robustness. Fourier Transform spectrometers grant high wavenumber accuracy and best signal to noise ratio. Polarization interferometers are insensitive to mechanical disturbances and hence ideal for rough environments.

Can I work with a BUCHI spectrometer in any environment?

Yes, the NIRFlex N-500 is a benchtop spectrometer mostly for laboratory use. The NIRMaster™ and NIRMaster™ Pro provide high ingress protection and are therewith ideal for benchtop analysis at production sites. The NIR-Online™ provides analyis in real time directly on the prodcution line.

What does IP54 and IP65 stand for?

Read more about What does IP54 and IP65 stand for?

IP: Ingress Protection against dust and water

54: limited dust protection (5_); splash water protection (_4)
65: total dust protection (6_); water jet protection (_5)

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.
