Ocean Optics' NIRQuest versatile InGaAs-array spectrometer is suitable for a host of applications from 900-2500nm.
An optical bench, low-noise electronics and various wavelength range options make NIRQuest versatile enough for NIR applications ranging from moisture detection and chemical analysis to high-resolution laser and optical fibre characterisation.
This robust, plug-and-play spectrometer is available in versions for 900-1700, 900-2050 and 900-2500nm coverage.
NIRQuest uses an Indium Gallium Arsenide (InGaAs)-array detector in a compact optical bench with thermoelectric cooler and low-noise electronics.
A high gain mode option improves system sensitivity for low-light-level and low-concentration measurements and integration times as rapid as 1ms.
NIRQuest's modular design and grating options allow customisation for a wider variety of applications, including moisture analysis in grains and cereals; chemical analysis of blood and tissue; bacterial detection in food and beverage production; nitrogen content monitoring of plants and soils and chemical composition of pharmaceuticals.
A grating option and external triggering are provided for high-resolution (to 0.25nm FWHM) laser characterisation.
NIRQuest Spectrometers are also available for integration into OEM devices.
The NIRQuest uses SpectraSuite Spectrometer Operating Software - a modular, Java-based spectroscopy platform that operates in Windows, Mac OS and Linux operating systems.
NIRQuest can be bundled with the Remora Network Adapter from Ocean Optics to turn the system into a multi-user spectral data server over Ethernet or existing Wi-Fi connections.
