RINA

Monitoring and support via the internet

The InfraXact and other NIR instruments are supported by the RINA software suite. This provides an internet-based network connecting individual instruments to a control centre that monitors and carries out management tasks remotely, allowing the local user to get on with routine analysis operations.

NIR technology

High performance NIR technology

XDS uses the full-visible and near-infrared scanning range. Near Infrared analysis is a spectroscopic technique, which makes use of the naturally occurring electromagnetic spectrum. The NIR region is the area of the spectrum defined by wavelengths as between 700nm and 2500nm.

The Near Infrared area has proved to be the ideal spectral area for making natural product and chemical property measurements of liquid, solid, slurry or gaseous samples.

All of the Near Infrared products use dispersive grating based monochromators as they afford the user the highest level of signal-to-noise available in any commercially available NIR product. The advantage of this boost in performance is better precision in an application and the capability to measure high scattering and multi-phase matrices.

Calibration software

For chemical analysis and pharmaceutical analysis applications, identification, qualitative and quantitative methods are easily derived with the advanced, user-friendly, networkable VISION software.

Fast and versatile

Liquid analysis or material identification testing is performed either in the laboratory or at-line on samples contained in their original vials, bags or bottles A temperature-controlled sample chamber provides the stable sample environment essential for precise chemical analysis measurements.

Monitoring vegetable oils

A particular application for the XDS Rapid Liquid Analyser is the routine analysis of vegetable oils in the refinery industry and olive oil segregation. Determination of FFA, moisture, Phosphorous, IV, K232, K270, PV in less than a minute allows full and rapid control of the vegetable oil refinery process or olive oil segregation.
