Malvern Instruments - NIR Chemical Imaging Systems

Malvern Instruments’ Near Infrared Chemical Imaging (NIR-CI) systems are designed to provide product continuity from R&D to QA/QC environments. NIR chemical imaging is the most practical implementation of chemical imaging processing analysis – large format arrays, solid state spectral filters and the ability to image samples over a wide range of magnifications are key distinguishing factors that differentiate it from other chemical imaging modalities.

Malvern’s NIR Chemical imaging systems are designed to improve the efficiency, understanding and ultimately profitability of formulation and production. By providing these capabilities, NIR Chemical Imaging will transform the design, scale-up and quality assessment of high-value heterogeneous materials.

Results in seconds

Data acquisition speeds are high, and it is possible to collect 81,920 complete NIR spectra in ~2 minutes, capturing images over sample areas as large as 40 x 32 mm. When only a few wavelengths are required, this time can be reduced to a few seconds for almost real-time imaging . There are no compromises between spectral content and image quality. Data analysis routines can be automated as well, for push-button performance.

Freedom from sample preparation

High quality spectra can be acquired from oddly shaped, rough and highly colored samples. Also, multiple samples that are not organized or arranged in a matrix can be imaged without sacrificing image or spectral quality.

Systems:

	SyNIRgi The SyNIRgi is available in two configurations, the standard version providing spectral coverage from 1200-2450 nm, and the SyNIRgi−S, a short wavelength version from 950 – 1720 nm. Designed with routine analytical measurements in mind, SyNIRgi increases productivity by adding significant capability for rapid acquisition of sample data. Typical applications range from pharmaceutical tablets and granules, to grains and seeds, to household and consumer products.
	ISys software ISys is the most powerful and comprehensive software package designed specifically for visualization and analysis of NIR Chemical Imaging data or chemical maps. It includes all the tools needed to intuitively understand your NIR Chemical Imaging data in spectral and spatial dimensions simultaneously.
