Now Available! Avantes is excited to announce the general availability of the newest addition to the Avantes CompactLine spectrometer series. The AvaSpec-Mini-NIR combines two of our most popular spectrometers, the Avaspec-NIR256-1.7 and the AvaSpec-Mini series. Small but powerful is how we like to describe the AvaSpec-Mini series spectrometers and the new Mini-NIR is no exception.…
Read MoreNear-infrared Absorption and Reflection measurements can be used to determine the properties of various samples, such as concentrations of chemicals and the quality of plastics. Not only can absorption spectra be used to identify the characteristics of many types of samples, but it can also be used to characterize the unique spectra of each sample…

Not only can absorption spectra be used to identify the characteristics of many types of samples, but it can also be used to characterize the unique spectra of each sample to generate…
Read MoreConducted by: David Ademe, Avantes Inc. Theme: Grains/Agriculture Background/Applications: Absorption and reflection measurements can be used to determine the freshness of various crops, from fruits and vegetables to even grains. Not only can reflection and absorption spectra be used to identify the properties of different types of grains through chemometric models, but it can also…
Read MoreAgricultural research of today goes into feeding the world’s population tomorrow. Year after year, farmers try to produce more food out of the same resources, and rapidly changing climate conditions only heighten the pressure on the world’s food supply. Changing weather patterns means droughts deepen, floods are more frequent, extremes of heat and cold swing…
Read MoreIn the realm of life science research and clinical instrumentation, optical spectroscopy, and sensing play critical roles in a variety of areas. Optical spectroscopy provides an ideal means for non-destructive sampling and real-time analysis in vivo or in the lab. The instrumentation needs of these applications have evolved rapidly in recent years with the…
Read MoreFor the featured spectra of the month, the Avantes team ran a series of experiments for a local Louisville, Colorado producer of hemp and CBD oils and extracts and developed a simple chemometric model for CBD concentration in the process using Panorama © Software from LabCognition.
Read MoreThis month, the Avantes US engineering team measured the broadband spectra of the sun from the Avantes, Inc. offices in Louisville, CO between 300 nm and 1100 nm. The Louisville location is situated at an elevation of 5,335 feet (1626 meters). Measurements were taken over two consecutive days in mid-April. The first day of solar…
