Spectrometer
The ultimate tool for near-infrared spectroscopy
The NIRvascan™ is the world’s first portable, battery-operated smart spectrometer. It covers many field applications and its configuration is optimized for diffuse reflectance, transmission and fiber input detection for a spectral range between 900 nm and 1700 nm or 1350nm to 2150nm
Compact & Portable
At only 82.2 x 66 x 45 mm, the device can be easily transported on the field.
Smart
The NIRvascan™ spectrometer connects to most Android and iOS devices via Bluetooth technology.
Versatile
The device covers transmittance, diffuse reflectance, and optical fiber sensing for spectral ranges between 900 nm and 1,700 nm.
Save
Easily and rapidly save and export your records for further analysis.
PC Analysis
Record and analyze your near-infrared data using the free and intuitive PC software.
Record and analyze your near-infrared data using the free and intuitive PC software.
Great Sensitivity
The NIRvascan™ smart spectrometer has a 6000:1 signal to noise ratio for a one-second scan.
Knowledge at the tip of your fingers
The NIRvascan™ is the first world portable smart and affordable near infrared spectrometer with integrated tungsten halogen light source build in. It covers many field applications and its configuration is optimized for diffuse reflectance, transmission and fiber input detection.
Diffuse reflectance is the reflection of light from a surface such that an incident ray is reflected at many angles rather than at just one angle as in the case of specular reflection. Each chemical, substance or material have their own reflectance spectrum. It is a non-evasive and non-destructive technique.
Experience Speed. Efficiency.
Mobility.
The NIRvascan™ smart spectrometer is already set up to be used with most Android or iOS devices with Bluetooth, as well as with any computer running on Windows. With the touch of a finger, you can now have extensive information on the NIR spectrum of any substance. The data can easily be updated to a computer for more complex tasks.

What is Near-Infrared Spectroscopy?
The NIR region of the light spectrum mainly contains overtones and combination bands that are primarily attributed to hydrogen vibrations (CH, OH, NH).
The absorption of light in the IR region causes molecules to vibrate and rotate because of the light excitation on the molecule bonds.
The absorption of light in the matter is usually not uniform and depends on the molecular structure and the number of bonds in the molecule.
Field applications
Applications for Near IR Spectroscopy (NIRS) are numerous and constantly evolving. The NIRvascan™ smart spectrometer was successfully tested and used in the following fields.
Fongus Detection
Pharmaceutical Drugs Identification
Pill Hardness
Narcotics Identification
Plastic Identification for Recycling
Mineral Identification for Field Exploration
Food Quality Integrity
Moisture in Materials
Bacteria Detection
Coating Reflectance
Paint Pigment Testing
Soil Monitoring
Textile Fabrics Identification
Agricultural Plant Health Monitoring
Big Data: Cloud matching services
