At-line NIR analyzers perform at the process line with samples removed by hand and fed into the machine, allowing the analysis done on samples from many lots or stages of production. This technology is especially useful for at-line analysis because at-line NIR analyzers can use fairly large samples with no extra preparation needed. An at-line NIR analyzer uses near infrared radiation to cause vibrations in the molecules of the sample which create spectra that can be used to determine the chemical components of the sample. The at-line NIR analyzer works best when the machine has been calibrated to look for a specific substance. At-line NIR analyzers are used in medical labs, industry, pharmaceuticals, and food science to find moisture, carbon dioxide, oxygen, nicotine, and many other substances.
Considerations for purchasing an at-line NIR analyzer
There can be differences among at-line NIR analyzers, including how long analysis takes, can it analyze solid, liquids, powders, or some combination, how many samples can be analyzed at one time, and the source of the near infrared radiation.

It is the first industry hardened FT-NIR system that can directly withstand harsh environments. This instrument incorporates state-of-the-art optics for outstanding sensitivity and stability, in a compact package. Its innovative design provides consistent high quality results, less downtime, direct methods transfer and the possibility of new applications that less sensitive and precise instruments are incapable of. In addition, the same instrument can go directly from the lab to the factory, eliminating the need for a new instrument when your method is ready for integration into your process control system. Full support of industry standard communication protocols make integration simple.
MATRIX-F FT-NIR Spectrometers MATRIX-F FT-NIR Spectrometers offers fiber optic coupling for the adaptation of probes and flow cells (for solids and liquids).

Specifically targeted for the given application and Fast measurements for high sample throughput, simultaneous evaluation of different components and an intuitive handling, without need for expertise training: TANGO simplifies the NIR analysis and therefore offers maximum security of the results. Specifically targeted for the given application and the demands required of an efficient analyzer. For liquids or for solids, with integrated PC and monitor or as separate analysis station, e.g. for connecting a laptop. Integrated into a network or as a stand alone solution.
TANGO IS INTUITIVE HANDLING Forget tedious training courses or specialized knowledge. TANGO makes it simple for you: with its intuitive user interface it guides the operators quickly and securely through the work flow. Also untrained staff can operate the spectrometer securely and error free. Good to know: the user interface is available in ten languages.
LOGICAL: SAMPLE HANDLING THE EASY WAY When it comes to sample handling, TANGO saves time and prevents operating errors. No sample preparation is necessary, no chemicals, no additional reagents. The sample is simply filled into the measuring cup or vial with the measurement being done through glass.
AUTOMATIC: BACKGROUND MEASUREMENTS Contributing to the high precision of FT-NIR spectrometers is the exact alignment with the background. But TANGO goes one step further: if required, the background measurements are performed automatically without user intervention. This alignment can even take place if a sample is located in the sampling position. The perfect prerequisite for optimal and secure measurements at any time.
