Si-NIR Flex
Development Platform for NIR Analysis with Configurable Setup
Si-NIR Flex is an FT-NIR spectral sensing platform featuring separate spectrometer and light-source modules. This configuration provides researchers and developers the flexibility to explore Si-Ware’s miniaturized NIR technology across various optical setups, path lengths, alignments, and sample interface designs.
While optimized for transmission measurements to provide the highest signal-to-noise ratio, the configuration can also be arranged for other sample interaction geometries. In those setups, performance may not be fully optimized but still provides valuable flexibility for early investigation and evaluation of alternative measurement approaches.
This flexibility helps teams define requirements for future development and supports experimentation during early-stage design.
