MEMS-Spectrometer sets New Standards in NIR Analytic

The SGS1900 spectrometer from Hiperscan (Germany) is a compact and rugged near infrared spectrometer that uses a new scanning grating technology to avoid any expensive NIR diode array. The flexible OEM device is designed for process and quality control in different industry sectors like food, feed, polymers, recycling, chemical and pharmaceuticals.

The SGS1900 measures one single scan in the spectral range from 1000 nm to 1900 nm in only 10 ms with an excellent signal to noise ratio. Especially at the upper end of the spectral range this includes distinctive absorption bands of many compounds that can be identified or quantified. The analysis of a large number of materials is possible and rather flexible applications can be achieved. Therefore the SGS1900 offers an important advantage compared to spectrometers with limited spectral range up to 1700nm. The knowledge about the change of the light when you irradiate meat with a light beam is necessary for the measurement of its wasting level, for example. The determination of polymers at the recycling industry or the analysis of indefinable fluids at the airport operate in the same way.
