November 11, 2013 – Axiom Analytica announced FDR-798 Near-IR manually retractable diffuse reflectance probe. The probe is designed for the contact analysis of optically scattering materials such as pharmaceutical powders, polymers, and food products. It is provided with an integral hand operated retraction mechanism suitable for use with bioreactors and other small reaction vessels. It includes a standard sanitary fitting and a flush chamber to allow periodic cleaning of the probe tip. Key characteristics of the new probe include high collection efficiency, low stray light, robust construction, and excellent chemical resistance.
The FDR-798 is the latest member of the company’s FDR-700 Series of diffuse reflectance probes. The use of integral fiber-optic bundles with SMA 905 connectors allows FDR-700 Series probes to be remotely coupled to most near-IR and UV-visible spectrometers for laboratory development and on-line process analysis.
