New! Financial Solutions Program
In these tough economic times are you being asked to do more with less? Has your capital budget been cut, and is capital money harder to come by? Certainly one of the advantages of NIR is that the analysis is very fast, and it can help you handle the increasing workload for which you may have fewer resources. We have solutions to help. Through Thermo Fisher Financial and our commercial organizations, we offer lease and rental programs, including operating leases, to help you acquire this high productivity instrumentation.

Free Webinar: Raw Material Identification
Often laboratory testing of raw materials is time consuming, expensive and requires highly trained technicians. Spectroscopy has gained wide acceptance as a faster, more efficient alternative to laboratory testing for releasing raw materials to production. This Webinar will discuss the use of Near-Infrared and Raman spectroscopy to verify and qualify raw materials used for pharmaceuticals, chemicals, food and other fields of production. The Webinar is scheduled for March 31 at 9:00am (EDT) and again at 4:00pm (EDT).

Featured Application:
FT-NIR Analysis of Czech Republic Beer
Beer is one of the oldest known beverages commonly found throughout many cultures of the world with evidence of its production dating back over 7000 years. Analysis of beer is required for proper reproducible production and labeling, but current techniques require separate instruments to measure alcohol content, classification and density. NIR has been used to circumvent the use of these various techniques and gives highly accurate data much faster and easier.

Featured Application:
Classification of Herbs by NIR Spectroscopy
Herbs and their extracts are often used in food, cosmetics, nutraceuticals, and pharmaceuticals. The Thermo Scientific Antaris NIR analyzers have been used to rapidly identify and classify 14 different common nutraceuticals herbs. Using small samples with the Sample Cup Spinner accessory, these samples were scanned, classified and quickly identified without the need for costly, time-consuming extraction and chromatography.
