Sameness Meter – Hip and Holster

 


Near Infrared Spectroscopy is a widely used tool within the pharmaceutical industry, however most NIR instruments are not designed specifically for the application of performing a rapid identification of raw materials. The Sameness Meter Hip Holster is a new, purpose built instrument, for rapid identification of raw materials in the production area.

 

The Sameness Meter consists of a portable NIR spectrometer with a 1 meter fibre optic cable and probe. The NIR spectrometer has a built-in RF modem to enable the spectrometer to be used remotely from the wall mounted PC. As such, an operator can walk from container to container and scan samples. The spectral data is transmitted back to a wall mounted PC where the spectrum is compared against a library file to identify the sample. The samples chemical name, a figure of merit and an accept/reject message is then sent back to the portable spectrometer.

 

Australian designed and manufactured.
