NIR ANALYZER-1,350 – 2,550nm

Description

Product Summary
The NIR  is a complete, ready-to-use platform for evaluating and prototyping with NIR sensor. It is designed for benchtop testing and rapid integration into handheld or embedded instruments. This is simplifies near-infrared material analysis by combining integrated hardware, software (Spect Analyze), and connectivity into a single plug-and-play solution
It also enables users to obtain lab-grade, repeatable measurements on heterogeneous samples without the need for custom optics or electronics. This accelerates the process of testing the sensor’s fit for
different applications and optimizing system design. Covering the 1,350–2,550 nm spectral range, the NIR can be used to analyze different materials and parameters across diverse domains such as agriculture, biomedicine, industrial polymers, and environmental monitoring.

Applications
The NIR can be utilized in various use cases such as laboratory, robotic platforms, drones, and smart machinery to enable advanced material analysis across multiple sectors, including:
Agriculture: Analysis of carbon, moisture, and macronutrients in soil and plants.
● Industrial & Polymers: Plastic, resin, and chemical composition analysis.
● Environmental Monitoring: Water and waste material screening.
● Textiles: Identification and characterization of natural and synthetic fibers.
● Fuel & Biofuel: Assessment of composition and identification of different fuels.
● Biomedicine & life sciences: Solid and liquid bio-sample characterization.

System Interfaces
This section outlines the NIR- hardware interfaces, covering its Optical, mechanical and Critrical connections, and integration notes.
Optical Interface
● Design: Free-space illumination and collection through the optical head.
● Measurement mode: Direct-contact diffuse reflectance via the optical window.
● Performance: Optimal when sample contacts the window; signal decreases with distance.
● Sampling area: Supports ≥10 mm spot size for consistent measurements.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Electrical Interface
● USB Option : USB-C Port 1 – Data connection | USB-C Port 2 – Power Delivery (USB PD) 15 V DC / 3 A.
● Ethernet Option : Ethernet 100BASE-TX (2 pairs, RJ45 with integrated magnetics) | Power via terminal block 9–24 V DC | External connector included.

Integration Notes
The NIR  supports integration into lab, prototype, and embedded setups. the notes below
summarize key mechanical, electrical, and grounding considerations.
● Mechanical Alignment & Mounting : Features eight M3 mounting holes (four top, four
side) that provide secure and flexible installation .
● Electrical & data connections:
● Option 1 (USB): Connector strain-relief should be maintained for reliable operation.
● Option 2 (Ethernet): Proper polarity and cable retention should be ensured during connection.
● Both interfaces should not be used simultaneously.
● Grounding & noise : Designed for use with protective-earth outlets to reduce electrical noise and ensure compliance with safety standards .

Accessories
A range of accessories enables quick and easy evaluation of various sample types, enhancing the NIR flexibility for application-specific measurements.

Example Measurements
The NIR was evaluated using a polystyrene sheet, an MRC-910–1920x reference material, and talc powder to demonstrate measurement capability across the 1,350–2,550 nm range. The overlaid reflection spectra show distinct spectral features for each sample at 66.6 cm⁻¹ resolution. A background (calibration) measurement was performed using a standard ceramic tile.
