Launched last month, the MB3600-PH FT-NIR (Fourier transform, near-infrared) spectrometer (photo) is a benchtop analyzer suitable for a broad range of applications, including quality control analysis, raw material identification and qualification, R&D and inline process analytics. The instrument combines the attributes of a research-grade analyzer — in particular an outstanding signal-to-noise ratio — while maintaining a minimal cost of ownership, says the manufacturer. Its aluminum casting also provides a level of protection needed for intensive use in an industrial environment. — ABB Analytical, Québec, Canada
