MATRIX-F/-MF • Keeping an eye on your process FT-IR / FT-NIR Innovation with Integrity

FT-IR / FT-NIR Process Spectrometers Check important process parameters immediately for reaction monitoring and control Optical spectroscopy is today a highly important technology for online process monitoring and optimization. Fiber-coupled probes allow a direct look into the process without time delay. The award winning MATRIX FT-IR and FT-NIR spectrometers allow the direct measurement in process reactors and pipelines, leading to a better understanding and control of the process. Their innovative technology provides consistent high quality results, less downtime and direct method...

MATRIX-F FT-NIR Process Spectrometer MATRIX-F One Spectrometer - Multiple Options FT-NIR Process Monitoring MATRIX-F Series Today many manufacturers are striving not only to produce the highest quality final product but also to improve manufacturing efficiency by shifting the final quality analysis from the laboratory to the production plants. The MATRIX-F is the only FT-NIR spectrometer which can measure material in contact as well as contactless with just one instrument. Different measurement accessories are available: By gaining tighter control over the manufacturing process, it is...

Accessories Immersion Probes Immersion probes are most widely used for FT-NIR measurements in process control. Bruker will assist to select the appropriate probe with the best materials matching the process conditions. In many cases the plant or reactor will already be equipped standard connection ports for immersion probes. Sensor Heads for non-contact Analysis Transmission Probes with optional flange adaption for measuring transparent liquids (photo: Hellma Analytics). Immersion probes can be divided into three groups based on the measuring principle: Transmission Probes for clear liquids...

Process Analyzer Cabinets CMET Process Software The MATRIX-F and its peripherals like the external fiber optics multiplexer and industrial PC are designed to fit easily into standard 19” rack, making it ideal for the use in process analyzer cabinets. The MATRIX-F spectrometers are available with 1-, 2- or a 6-channel internal multiplexer. With only one MATRIX-F a maximum of 6 measurement points can be monitored thereby reducing the investment costs. The fiber optic probes are connected to the spectrometer using standard SMA connectors or BQCs (Bruker Quick Connectors). Especially in process...

MATRIX-MF FT-IR Process Spectrometer FT-IR Process Monitoring The MATRIX-MF is the mid-infrared (FT-IR) version of Bruker’s MATRIX process spectrometer series. It has the same rugged and compact design as the MATRIXF as well as the robustness and stability. Samples are measured by ATR (attenuated total reflection) probes without the need of sample preparation. The MATRIX-MF utilizes the information rich mid-IRregion also known as the “fingerprint”. The mid-IR region is characterized by less overlapping of the absorption bands and functional groups can be easily identified. This is important...

Bruker’s process spectrometers, the MATRIX-F and -MF, as well as the sensor head are all certified for the use in areas exposed to explosion hazards. The standard spectrometers and the sensor head can be retrofitted to comply with the high safety standards for ex-rated areas. Bruker’s FT-IR and FT-NIR spectrometers are equipped with an automated filter wheel which houses standard materials and filters for testing instrument performance. Included in the OPUS software is OVP (Optics Validation Program), an instrument test program which executes a series of performance tests using the...

Applications Agriculture, Food & Feed Example: Milk Powder Production Chemical, Polymer & Pharma Example: Pharmaceutical Tablet Production In the agri, food and feed industry there has been a rapid adaption of near infrared spectroscopy for laboratory use from the first commercially available NIR grain analyzers in the early 1970s to today’s modern FT-NIR spectrometers. However, most food production facilities still use univariate sensors like temperature, flow rate, pH etc. to monitor the process. These parameters are nonetheless often irrelevant for assessing the food quality. A key...
