MPA Multi Purpose Analyzer Innovation with Integrity

Discover the Flexibility of FT-NIR Spectroscopy The MPA is the result of almost 40 years of experience in the engineering and production of FT-IR and FT-NIR spectrometers. Designed to provide maximum flexibility and high performance, the MPA sets new standards in FT-NIR analysis. It is a powerful tool for developing sophisticated methods for your laboratory or process needs, yet an easy to use QA/QC instrument for routine work.

MPA Multi Purpose Analyzer Unrivalled Flexibility Choosing the best possible sampling method is crucial when solving a specific analysis task. With the MPA, you have a complete solution at hand for your daily QA/ QC work, but also for sophisticated method development studies. Initially it is often not obvious which sampling method is the best. With the MPA, simply try out several methods choose the best option for you. Liquid samples can be measured in the sample compartment using disposable vials or cuvettes, but also directly in their container using the fiberoptic probe. Compare the composition...

MPA Multi Purpose Analyzer Easy Operation Customizable workspaces, easy measurement modes and wizards to guide you through the setup of analytical methods are standard in the OPUS spectroscopy software. The smart display informs the user about the instrument status and indicates whether the measurement passed or failed. These factors make the operation of the instrument and the software so easy that even untrained personnel can operate the MPA spectrometer from day one. The display indicates the instrument status and whether your measurement result passed or failed. User-friendly Software OPUS...

MPA Multi Purpose Analyzer Sample Compartment, with optional sample heater and automated background capability, allows easy measurements of liquids in cuvettes or disposable vials without having to open drawers. Integrating Sphere for measuring solids and pastes in diffuse reflection. An optional sample rotator assures a high reproducibility for heterogeneous samples. Fiber Optic Probes for measuring samples directly in containers, e.g. in the warehouse. Up to two different probes can be connected. The MPA brings flexibility to FT-NIR spectroscopy; optional extension modules are available for...

A wide range of vials and cuvettes are available for measurements of liquid samples in transmission. Larger vials are also available for analyzing solids in reflection on the integrating sphere. Various types of high quality quarz flow cells are available for the automated measurement of liquid samples like milk. When measuring heterogeneous samples, the use of sample rotators significantly increases the accuracy of the results. Bruker Optics offers a wide range of accessories, including adapters for glass beakers, and petri dishes. For the measurement of small samples like single seeds in reflection,...

Validation The MPA FT-NIR spectrometer is equipped with an automated filter wheel which houses standard materials and filters for testing instrument performance. Included in the OPUS software is OVP (Optics Validation Program), an instrument test program which executes a series of performance tests using the standards in the filter wheel. This program evaluates the instrument performance and determines if the spectrometer is operating within specifications. In addition, Bruker ‘s Validation Program provides the user with a complete package of qualification routines that meet the demands of validation...

Applications Chemical Industry For many years NIR technology has been used in a wide variety of chemical industries. The high information content in NIR spectra, measured in only a few seconds, allows the simultaneous analysis of many different components and system parameters with high precision. Some of the many applications are: Chemistry: hydroxyl value, acid number, saponification value, iodine number, moisture content, homogeneity,... Petrochemistry: octane- and cetane number, distillation-, flash-and cloud point, aromatic content, PIONA analysis, ... Polymer chemistry: density, viscosity,...

Pharmaceutical and Cosmetic Industry FT-NIR technology is a fast and precise tool to effectively and cost efficiently solve a huge variety of application tasks in the pharmaceutical and cosmetics industry. In the receiving dock, raw material identities can be checked with hand held probes. Mis-labeled raw material deliveries can be detected and their quality checked to prevent product failures. Tablets can be tested for content uniformity, residual moisture, potency, levels of excipient and hardness. This can be performed on individual tablets and through a blister pack. Due to its exceptional...
