Thermo Fisher Scientific Antaris II Fourier-Transform Near-Infrared (FT-NIR) analyser-based food and feed analysis systems

Friday, 09 September, 2011 | Supplied by: Thermo Fisher Scientific


Thermo Fisher Scientific has released two complete solutions featuring the Antaris II Fourier-Transform Near-Infrared (FT-NIR) analyser, for feed and ingredient analysis in agriculture and flour and milling analysis in the food processing industry. The ready-for-plant packages are both precalibrated and can rapidly analyse multiple components simultaneously without consumables, chemicals or disposal costs.

The company collaborated with Aunir, a division of AB Agri, to incorporate Aunir’s Ingot (International Near-Infrared Global Operating Technologies) universal near-infrared calibrations into both analyser solutions.

This provides users with a solution for monitoring key elements such as moisture, protein, ash, fat, fibre, starch and other nutritional and physical parameters, in calibrated systems that are ready to use from day one. Regardless of the sample, the Antaris II FT-NIR analyser solutions for food and feed analysis provide robust and reliable data collection for at-line, online and inline analysis. The use of FT-NIR results in high levels of sensitivity and precision due to the capacity for increased accuracy and repeatability.

The systems consist of the Antaris II FT-NIR analyser with Integrating Sphere Module with a 5 or 12 cm sample cup spinner accessory, Thermo Scientific Result and TQ Analyst software packages and either the Ingot Level 4 Flour and Milling or Feed and Ingredient calibration package. This mechanically simple and reliable product provides a fast sampling speed as all wavelengths are measured simultaneously. The Antaris II FT-NIR analyser provides internal, automatic sample collection, eliminating operator error and sampling variability. This provides a fast, non-destructive technique that ensures reproducible results.
