Axiom Analytical announces the availability of its FFV-310Ne surface mount spectroscopic flow cells designed specifically to mate to the standard Nessi (Ansi/ISA SP76.00.02-2002) platform
Nessi (new sampling/sensor initiative) is an industry initiative undertaken to standardise and simplify the design of systems use in chemical process analysis.
A significant part of this initiative has been the development of modular, miniature, and automated sample system technology using a platform based on the Ansi/ISA SP76.00.02-2002 standard.
This platform defines a standard mounting and interfacing geometry for a new generation of surface mount analytical components.
Among the benefits of the Nessi platform are modular assembly and replacement, short sample lines, fast response, compact design, low sample volume, and a high level of automation.
Until now, the emphasis in the development of Nessi compatible hardware has been on devices for sample conditioning and control and on scalar sensors for such variables as temperature, pressure and flow rate.
Axiom Analytical has now extended these developments to encompass multi-dimensional sensor systems employing near-IR and UV-visible spectroscopy.
The key element is the new FFV-310Ne surface mount flow cell.
This compact cell is designed to be interfaced to a remote near-infrared (NIR) or UV-visible spectrometer by means of fiber-optic cables.
Individual cells are available with a range of fixed or variable path lengths and with optics optimized for the near-IR, UV, or visible spectral ranges.
