MB3600-CH20 FT-NIR Analyzer

Description

The MB3600-CH20 FT-NIR Analyzer from ABB Analytical is a laboratory spectrometer designed for method development and quantitative analysis, particularly for determining functional groups like hydroxyl value. It serves as an alternative to slower wet-chemical titration procedures. The analyzer is built as a platform for creating custom analytical methods applicable to a range of liquid and solid powder samples, including polyols, glycols, and amine derivatives. Key operational advantages include a short measurement time—typically around one minute after temperature equilibration—and the use of disposable vials to eliminate sample cell cleaning. A significant feature is the guaranteed calibration transferability between ABB's laboratory and process FT-NIR instruments, facilitated by manufacturing techniques that ensure high photometric linearity and spectral consistency. This allows methods developed in the lab to be deployed directly to process analyzers without additional calibration work.
