The Foss NIRsystems measures any chemical form available on the planet including clear to turbid liquids, solids, powders, flakes, gels, pastes, and slurries. Foss NIRsystems enable customers to control the quality of materials from incoming raw materials, through production to final product delivery. The Foss NIRsystems helps customers shorten cycle times, and thus allows faster product delivery to market as well as increasing plant capacity.

The UV VIS NIR spectrophotometer is a device which can scan at the rate of 24 000 nm per minute. That means that it allows the user to scan the whole wavelength range of 190-1100 nm in less than 3 seconds. It has a very impressive data collection rate of 80 points per second which will allow the user to gather all the information that is required for the kinetics assay. The UV VIS NIR spectrophotometer can measure samples up to 3 Abs so you won't have to dilute as often.

As the Xenon lamp is very intense, the NIR spectrophotometer can use a beam splitter without the loss in energy causing excessive photometric noise. The beam splitter allows alternate reference beam correction, so peaks will not shift as the scan speed changes.

The UV VIS NIR spectrophotometer?s super-concentrated beam makes it ideal for fiber optic work.

The light beam is narrow and very sharp, so even if you are using microcells you will still get excellent noise performance. The NIR spectrophotometer is unaffected by room light. You can even operate with the sample compartment open or closed, you won't notice the difference.

Foss NIR systems also manufacture the FOSS? Analyzers that are supplied with VISION Spectral Analysis Software for Windows. VISION is fully validated during NIR spectroscopic analysis software, and is year-2000 compliant. VISION is developed under the stringent "Life Cycle Method" as recommended by the U.S. Pharmaceutical Association. This includes a thorough documentation of the process covering elements such as functional requirement specification, architecture documentation, design documentation and proof of code reviews, among many others. VISION has been tested and audited to this standard several times before. NIR spectrophotometer is also widely used on food and has been highly successful in measuring properties of cereal products.
