New sensor technology allows compact, cost-effective design & easy operation
The easy-to-use NIR scanner, hardly larger than a standard computer mouse, is used both inside and outside laboratories, e.g. in incoming goods or production. The Solid Scanner explicitly dispenses with many setting options and instead offers the essential functions that are controlled with a button.
This way you can create a spectrum of the desired material in less than 1 second and immediately make a statement about the type and quality of the material. The Solid Scanner serves you as a mini-laboratory and is in many cases a simple and inexpensive solution for laboratories entering the world of NIR spectroscopy.
The working principle of NIR
The scanning process is either started with the only available button on the scanner itself, or by a software button on the computer. Thereby, the NIR scanner measures an area of 3 x 3 mm and in case of non-transparent (plastic) materials up to a depth of 0,2 up to 0,3 mm, in case of transparent materials accordingly deeper. The generated spectrum is an average value of the chemical composition of this material.
In this way, coatings on materials can also be detected and differentiated. From a layer thickness of approx. 50 to 100 µm, differences in the NIR spectrum become visible.
