Why You'll Love It

The SpectraStar XT FeedLot analyser package brings many industry firsts to your Quality Control efforts! With the all new SpectraStar XT, rapid and accurate measurement of raw ingredients and finished product has never been easier. Re-designed software and new features not only make it easier to detect out-of-spec products and get visual insights into data trends, the NIR analyser now features diagnostic tests and verification against certified standards.
 

• Low cost of ownership with no consumables or reagents required
• Simultaneous results for multiple parameters important in quality analysis
• Product configuration is completed in 3 easy steps with simple graphical dialogues
• ​Visual insights into data trends
• All results are archived for complete traceability
• The SpectraStar XT NIR analyser is housed in a sealed case with no fans, filters or water cooling which makes it ideal for reliable operation in dusty environments. Perfect for at-line process control.
• With a scan range to 2600 nm this NIR analyser delivers increased accuracy for constituents containing C-H aromatic and C-N-C amide bonds including: lignin, amino acids, proteins and fibres
• ​Sample analysis is quick and easy with new Uscan^TM routine analysis software and touch screen operation
• Uscan^TM software offers several ways of presenting sample data to operators including a view that allows production line analysts to quickly visualise data trends and accurately control the process.
• The patent pending TAS technology's performance diagnostics quickly tests the SpectraStar NIR analyser against certified standards to ensure the instrument is operating to factory specification
• The TAS technology assures ongoing optimal performance and maintains the integrity of calibrations
• A large range of sample presentation options including: traditional sample cups, plastic bags and petri dishes
• To make it easier for you to implement NIR we have created analyser packages tailored to specific products. These packages are supplied with everything you need for a plug-n-play installation. Did we mention that the NIR Analyser Packages represent excellent value for money?

Everything Else

One difference between Unity Scientific and other NIR suppliers is our attention to detail and our level of care, support, service before, during and after installation. We deliver solutions that are easy to install, operate and maintain and minimise the resources required. We work hard to deliver the best customer experience.

NIR Installation and Training

Before delivery, our factory trained NIR specialist performs diagnostics to verify the instrument performance  and then installs calibrations and sets up products according to your requirements. Products can be setup with specific outlier and constant limits and SPC charts to provide immediate feedback to the operator about each sample. An automatic to a LIMS or other external data system can also be configured. As part of the installation, our NIR specialist trains the operators and managers in all aspects of routine operation, configuration, diagnostics and data management.

 

Hassle-Free NIR

The SpectraStar XT instruments are designed for easy maintenance and a long life, reducing the risk of downtime and maintenance costs. The lamp has a 10,000 hour life and is easily monitored in the software and easily changed by the user.  The patent pending TAS technology aligns the instrument back to factory specifications for interruption-free operation. With only high quality components, and no fans, lasers, desiccators or cooling systems to fail you can look forward to years of trouble free useage.
