Fourier spectrometer infrared “InfraLUM” FT-10 (IR spectrometer)

Description

The price is for the base unit. To receive a commercial offer for the device in the working configuration, please contact the manager.

InfraLUM® FT-10 infrared analyzer is a stationary laboratory device that can quickly determine the composition and quality of products such as wheat, barley, rye, oats, wheat and rye flour, corn, soybeans, soy flour, soybean meal, sunflower meal and oilseed meal, meat and bone meal, fish meal, fodder yeast, animal feed, milk powder, milk, yoghurts, cottage cheese, cheeses, cheese masses, minced meat, etc.
Most types of samples are analyzed without preparation. Some solid, non-flowing samples (sunflower cake, soybean meal) or samples in highly absorbent casings (sunflower seeds) must be ground beforehand. “InfraLUM FT-10” is designed to simplify sample preparation as much as possible and increase the accuracy of analysis.

“InfraLUM FT-10” is based on the registration of absorption spectra using an efficient Fourier transform method. “InfraLUM FT-10” measures the spectrum at several hundred wavelengths. This significantly improves the accuracy of the analysis due to the larger volume and high accuracy of the processed information.

Distinctive features of the device:

• simultaneous determination of normalized indicators in minutes;
• high accuracy and ease of analysis;
• the analysis is carried out without reagents, for most types – without sample preparation;
• reliable calibrations (calibration models), the possibility of updating them;
• the possibility of transferring calibration models from one device to another;
• Russian-language program;
• certified methods of analysis.

Software Features:

The SpectraLUM/Pro® program allows the user to change calibrations and develop their own calibration models. When developing calibrations, the most modern mathematical models are used – the method of partial least squares (PLS), the method of principal component regression (PCR).

Working procedure:

The analysis process looks like this: the operator places a cuvette with a sample into the instrument’s autosampler, selects the analysis program from the menu using a computer, and starts the measurement process. Further actions occur automatically.

The analysis results are displayed on a computer monitor. The operator can print the protocol or store the results in a database. The duration of the analysis is 1.5 minutes.

Areas of use:

• grain procurement: express determination of the grade and quality of grain and flour;
• poultry and livestock: control of the composition and quality of feed raw materials and feed;
• food industry: control of raw materials, products and waste, control of technological processes;
• veterinary control: control of the composition and quality of feed;
• sanitary control: control of the composition, identification and determination of the authenticity of products;
• chemistry and petrochemistry: determination of authenticity and identification of raw materials and products;
• pharmaceuticals: express identification of pharmaceuticals;
• Scientific research.

Areas of the greatest efficiency of the device:

• analysis in a limited time;
• analysis of a large number of components or samples with limited resources.

Recommended scope of delivery:
