The Master Science NIR Spectrophotometer measures diffuse reflectance from 700 to 2500 nm through an integrating sphere. Samples go into a cup as they are, with no pre-treatment and no damage to the material.
Several components, such as moisture, fat, protein and amino acids, are reported together in about one minute. Calibration models cover agricultural feed, grain and oil foods, wine and starch, and fermented products such as soy sauce.

Common Problems and How This Analyzer Helps
How the Master Science NIR Spectrophotometer shortens compositional testing:
- Slow wet-chemistry methods: results in about one minute.
- Samples destroyed by testing: non-destructive measurement.
- Poor repeatability on coarse material: rotating cup averages the sample.
- Drift over time: automatic reference and wavelength checks.
