NIRLIGHT – Handheld NIR Spectrometer

Portable and handheld near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy device designed to analyze substances and materials in the field.

Description

Pharmaceuticals and Drugs Inspection
The NIRLIGHT significantly speeds up incoming goods and quality inspections in the pharmaceutical and chemical industry. The handheld NIR spectrometer eliminates the need for sample transport to the laboratory.

Polymer and Plastic Identification
The portable near-infrared analyzer enables plastic recycling, plastic sorting and waste management organizations to identify all kinds of polymer (PP, PE, PET, PA6 vs PA66, LDPE, HDPE, PVC, ABS, etc.) and various sample types such as granulates, flakes, finished parts, and more on-site within seconds.

Narcotics & Explosives Detection
Our handheld NIR spectrometer is designed to not only identify, but also quantify illicit substances and explosives on-site. The NIRLIGHT is an easy-to-use and safe solution for law enforcement, drug checking services and harm reduction organizations.

Food & Livestock Analysis
Ergonomic and robust handheld NIR device for the prediction of the composition of different components in food and livestock as protein, fat, moisture content, minerals, and more.

Feed & Agricultural Products Inspection
Instead of delivering the sample to the laboratory, we bring the mobile lab to the sample in the field and enable fast on-the-spot nutritional analysis of (aqua)feed.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

The NIRLIGHT is a battery-powered handheld near-infrared analyzer that connects wirelessly to smartphones, tablets and PC. Its compact, ruggedized and ergonomic design makes it ideal for applications in the field, in laboratory and manufacturing sites. The point-and-click instrument with no moving parts and IP65/IP67 dust and water ingress rating is the perfect solution for a wide range of material characterization applications in pharma, agriculture, food and feed, and security markets.

The NIRLIGHT’s name hints at its core technology: Near Infrared (NIR) spectroscopy. This method, a staple in laboratories for generations, has been ingeniously compacted into a portable device. By projecting light with slightly less energy than the visible spectrum onto a sample, the device stimulates molecular vibrations. The energy reflected from the material is then captured and analyzed, revealing insights into its structural composition.

NIRLAB’s handheld device uses NIR spectroscopy technology and advanced machine learning to analyze the chemical composition of a substance. By pointing the device at the sample and pressing a button, the device identifies and quantifies the substance within seconds, providing results directly on a connected mobile app.

Yes, our mobile NIR solution is specifically designed for simplicity and ease of use in field conditions. You do not need to be an NIR spectroscopy expert or chemist to analyze substances. No special training or expertise is required to operate our intuitive handheld analyzer.

Yes, the NIRLIGHT analyzer comes with a mobile application displaying scanning results in real-time. Our web application features user and device management, scanning history and data storage, statistics and reporting, and more.
