Smart NIR Integrating Sphere Accessory Module

Enhance the near-infrared capabilities of Thermo Scientific™ Nicolet™ FT-IR Spectrometers with the use of the Thermo Scientific™ Smart NIR Integrating Sphere, which uses the diffuse reflection analysis method. The Smart NIR Integrating Sphere provides you with a high level of productivity you won't find with traditional techniques. It is ideal for raw material identification and determination of compositions. Sampling can be performed through glass and other packaging materials.

The optical components of Smart NIR Integrating Sphere have been carefully optimized to make scattered near-infrared energy collection greater than 95% efficient — giving you the highest signal to noise in the shortest amount of time for the best possible results.

• Minimal sample preparation with high sample throughput
• Chemical-resistant sapphire window with leak-proof seal
• Stainless steel platform resistant to solvents and scratches
• Optional tablet spinners average diffuse reflectance measurements for more uniform results
• Ideal for powders, polymer pellets and granulated samples
