FT-NIR DS2500-METROHM

The DS2500 Solid Analyzer is used for fast, routine quality control of solid samples using near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy, with applications in industries like pharmaceuticals, polymers, and food. It analyzes raw materials and final products, even in harsh production environments, by measuring key parameters such as composition, moisture, and fat content, with results delivered in less than a minute.
Key applications:
Pharmaceuticals: For routine analysis and quality assurance of solid products.
Polymers: Quality control for polymers like PE, PP, and PET along the production chain.
Food and agriculture: Analysis of food products such as milk powder and other raw materials.
Personal care: Quality assurance for products like creams and gels to check for active ingredients.
Other industries: Used in areas like fertilizer production for moisture analysis and other chemical and material industries.
How it works
The analyzer uses near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy to measure a full spectral range from 400 to 2500 nm.
It is designed to be robust, making it resistant to dust, moisture, vibrations, and temperature fluctuations, so it can be used directly on the production line as well as in a lab.
Measurements are fast, taking less than a minute for accurate and reproducible results.
It can analyze various solid forms, including coarse-grained samples and semi-solids like creams, as well as liquids with appropriate accessories.

Description

Feature overview
Robust near-infrared spectroscopy for quality control, not only in laboratories but also in production environments.
The DS2500 Analyzer is the tried and tested, flexible solution for routine analysis of solids, creams, and optionally also liquids along the entire production chain. Its robust design makes the DS2500 Analyzer resistant to dust, moisture, vibrations, and temperature fluctuations, which means that it is eminently suited for use in harsh production environments.
The DS2500 covers the full spectral range from 400 to 2500 nm and delivers accurate, reproducible results in less than one minute. The DS2500 Analyzer meets the demands of the pharmaceutical industry and supports users in their day-to-day routine tasks thanks to its simple operation.
Thanks to accessories tailored perfectly to the instrument, optimum results are achieved with every sample type, no matter how challenging it is, e.g. coarse-grained solids such as granulates or semi-solid samples such as creams. The Multi Sample Cup can help improve productivity when measuring solids, as it enables automated measurements of series containing up to 9 samples.

DS2500 Analyzer
why you should prefer a dispersive system

Quantification of analytes in the lower ppm range is a challenge for near-infrared spectrometers. Dispersive systems with their unmatched signal-to-noise ratio are the preferred solution here. The D(ispersive)S(ystem)2500 Analyzer from Metrohm is an ideal tool for such complex tasks, for solid as well as liquid samples.

Extended wavelength range for measurements in the near-infrared and the visible range
The DS2500 Analyzer is designed for typical half widths of NIR signals (up to 30 nm) and offers a resolution of 8.75 nm over a wavelength range of 400–2500 nm. Hence, the DS2500 Analyzer covers both the near-infrared range and the visible range.
This means that the DS2500 Analyzer, unlike FT systems, can also detect color changes of the sample, e.g., caused by aging.

Function / feature	Customer benefit
Outstanding signal-to-noise ratio	Analysis of low concentrations down to 500 ppm in solids
Wavelength range 400 – 2500 nm	Superior application flexibility

Besides superior sensitivity, system robustness is critical for reproducible results. Especially, if used at-line
in the production process or in environments characterized by high humidity or dust load, system robustness can make all the difference.

The DS2500 Solid Analyzer with its IP65 certified housing and only one rotating optical element is a highly robust solution providing excellent protection
against environmental influences even in high vibration environments. The rotating high-precision grating used to disperse light guarantees fast data acquisition so that results are obtained within 30 seconds.

Function / feature	Customer benefit
IP65 (DS2500 Solid Analyzer)	Reliable analyses even at high humidity and dust levels
Dispersive holographic high-precision grating	Maximum system stability and fast results within 30 seconds

Ideal solution for fast, simple and robust routine analysis

Different solids require different kinds of sample presentation. For inhomogeneous samples, it is mandatory to cover the random distribution of the
contained target analytes, for example, by using a larger diameter of the scanning beam or by rotating the sample holder.
The DS2500 Solid Analyzer (2.922.0010) with its integrated rotating sample holder, a 15.5 mm diameter scanning beam, and various different sample containers available, provides everything it takes for straightforward operation by anyone including shift personnel.
This ensures fast and reliable analysis of both homogeneous and inhomogeneous solids of any kind.

Function / feature	Customer benefit
Integrated rotating sample holder	High reproducibility of results even for inhomogeneous samples by automatic analysis of the sample in different positions.
15.5 mm scanning beam	Faster results as the large diameter of the scanning beam covers a larger part of the sample.
