How it Works

Using multi-wavelength NIR reflection, the InfraLab does not require contact with the product sample. Samples are simply presented in the sample bowl; the InfraLab then automatically recognizes the presence of the sample and starts its measurement sequence. In just 5 seconds, the measurements are displayed clearly on the screen.

Replacement for Laboratory Methods

The InfraLab Series 9 Analyzer is fast, easy-to-use, sturdy and features a wide set of skills that make replacement of laboratory methods even more convenient:

  • User-configurable multi-lingual interface
  • Pass code protection with configurable user access levels
  • Single or multi-component measurement configurations
  • Choice of sample dishes (deep or shallow rotating, or static petri dish)
  • Ethernet and LIMS connectivity
  • On-board storage of 100,000 sample files and fast download to USB memory stick
