A high-performance optical bench, low-noise electronics and various grating options make NIRQuest Spectrometers the best choice for modular NIR spectroscopy. This small footprint spectrometer is available in several different models that cover various wavelength ranges between 900 nm and 2500 nm. As with most Ocean Optics designs, the NIRQuest can be customized for your specific application with various grating, slit and mirror options. The NIRQuest is ideal for applications ranging from analyzing moisture content in food and beverage products to analyzing trace metals in wastewater and laser characterization among others. The NIRQuest communicates via the Universal Serial Bus (USB) connection with an external 5V power source. A 30-pin interface provides several GPIO ports as well as the possibility of RS-232 communications.

• High signal-to-noise ratio: 15,000:1 to 7500:1, depending on model. Combined with high dynamic range this means that you can achieve the highest accuracy and precision, important for modeling.
• Deep TEC cooling to 35°C or 50°C below ambient (model-dependent). This means lower dark current and improved signal to noise.
• High Resolution: from <1nm to 12nm (slit and detector dependent) to suit your application.
• Configurable with a range of detectors, gratings and slits for your specific application. Interchangeable slits are available.
• Rugged and proven diode array technology with no moving parts.
• Continuous and simultaneous collection of spectral data in the field, on the line or in the lab. All wavelength data is collected simultaneously.
• Fast data transfer via USB and optional RS-232. GPIO pins support I2C.
