Description
MPA II: The FT-NIR Multi Purpose Analyzer
Choosing the best possible sampling method is crucial when solving a specific analysis task. With the MPA II, 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 II, simply try out several methods choose the best option for you. The possibilities are endless, and due to the modular design of the MPA II, the instrument can easily be adapted to your needs. The robustness of the instrument allows it to be used in the laboratory and factory floor.

Features
State-of-the-art Technology
The MPA II incorporates state-of-the-art optical parts for outstanding performance and stability:
- Long-life light source for enhanced robustness and reduced maintenance costs.
- Durable solid state laser for highest wavenumber accuracy.
- Permanently aligned RockSolid™ interferometer, equipped with gold-coated cube-corner mirrors for consistent high quality results, less downtime and highest stability.
- High-sensitivity InGaAs detectors with linear response over the complete wavenumber range for highest accuracy and reproducibility.
All optical components installed in the MPA II are permanently monitored by the online diagnostic system, which makes sure that your spectrometer operates correctly. Whenever a component is out of specification, the user is notified immediately.
We are convinced of the exceptional quality by design of our MPA II FT-NIR spectrometers.This is why we grant 10 years warranty on the moving parts of the interferometer as well as on the solid state laser.
Easy Operation
Customizable workspaces as well as easy measurement modes which guide you through the setup of analytical methods are standard in the OPUS spectroscopy software. Measurements can be started with a mouse click or at the touch of a button.
The smart display informs the user about the instrument status and the measurement. These factors make the operation of the instrument and the software so easy that even untrained personnel can operate the MPA II spectrometer from day one.
Hassle-Free Maintenance
MPA II spectrometers are designed to be easily main-tained by the user, thereby decreasing downtime and maintenance costs. Consumable items such as the light source are designed for a long life, but if they need to be replaced, the system automatically informs the user of the failure and offers online help for the replacement procedure. The consumables are prealigned and can be easily and quickly changed.
Moreover, the Ethernet access to the MPA II allows remote control and diagnostics of the spectrometer via your intranet or the World Wide Web.
Validation
The MPA II FT-NIR spectrometer features an internal filter wheel (‘validation unit’) that houses reference materials (e.g. BRM 2065) and several filters for automated instrument qualification tests. The OPUS Validation Program (OVP) is an intuitive user interface to setup and perform OQ and PQ protocols that verify that the MPA II is operating within specifications – also in routine use.
A wide range of external reference materials, e.g. SRM 1920, SRM 2065 and Labsphere standards, is supported. OVP fulfils the requirements of current guidelines, e.g. USP and Ph. Eur., and always keeps the user updated on the instrument status.
The ‘Validation Manual’ provides the comprehensive documentation of instrument qualification and software validation including the corresponding certificates.
