On-site verification of chemical
materials
The new InfraSpec VFA-IR Spectrometer, from Wilks Enterprise, allows chemical and pharmaceutical materials to be quickly verified on the factory floor without sending them to a centralised lab
The new InfraSpec VFA-IR Spectrometer, from Wilks Enterprise, allows chemical and pharmaceutical materials to be quickly verified at remote locations without sending them to a centralised lab As all organic and most inorganic molecules have characteristic mid-IR spectra, FT-IR instruments have routinely handled this analysis in the laboratory

On-site percent measurement of Ethanol in Gasoline
Two portable, easy-to-use mid-IR analysers for use by producers, distributors, fleet managers, or regulators to measure the percent ethanol in gasoline and/or water in ethanol or methanol are launched
New variable filter array IR spectrometer
Wilks Enterprise will introduce a new InfraSpec VFA-IR Spectrometer with a 128 pixel detector array that provides expanded capabilities and better performance at PITTCON 08
However, results may not be available for several hours or days as it is impractical to locate these lab instruments at loading docks, warehouses or productions where the measurements are needed.
The InfraSpec VFA-IR Spectrometer incorporates a patented design and has no moving parts or optical path exposed to air.
It is rugged, weighs less than 5 lbs, and insensitive to environmental changes, making it ideal for such on-site analyses.
With a simple interface for non-technical operators, a material is placed on the ATR sample stage, and after analysis it is either accepted or rejected.
Analysis time is typically under one minute.
The full spectrum of the material is stored for technicians to review if necessary.
IR measurements with the InfraSpec Spectrometer provide the immediate information necessary for product verification to help improve overall chemical and pharmaceutical processing plant operating efficiencies.
