LabSpec 4 Hi-Res Spectrometers

Description

The LabSpec 4 Hi-Res spectrometer from Malvern Panalytical is a near-infrared instrument configured for applications requiring high spectral resolution to discern sharp absorption features. It operates across a wavelength range of 350 to 2500 nm. Its resolution is specified as 3 nm at 700 nm in the VNIR region and 6 nm at 1400 nm and 2100 nm in the SWIR regions. This enhanced SWIR resolution is particularly beneficial for analyzing materials with narrow spectral signatures, such as minerals, soils, pharmaceuticals, and polymers. The instrument delivers high signal-to-noise ratios: 9,000:1 at 700 nm, 9,000:1 at 1400 nm, and 4,000:1 at 2100 nm. This performance supports the development of accurate chemometric models for both qualitative identification and quantitative analysis. The system is compatible with the full range of ASD bifurcated probes and sampling accessories. An optional integrated model (LabSpec 4 Hi-Res i) includes a built-in halogen light source, eliminating the need for an external source when using fiber optic probes.
