OverviewThe NIRS™ DS3 A adds high-throughput near-infrared analysis by combining FOSS analytical performance and industry-leading analytics with automated handling of ground and unground, solid and semi-solid samples. The system supports both automated and manual operation and is designed for feed and a wide range of food and agricultural matrices.
ValueWith a 20-cup batch capacity, the detachable autosampler enables running up to 60 samples per hour. The autosampler detaches from the NIRS DS3 analyzer for flexible workflows and a compact footprint that facilitates automation without excessive space requirements.
Sample typesThe NIRS DS3 A performs automated tests on ground and unground, solid and semi-solid samples including animal feed, bread, pasta, ready meals and plant materials. Manual measurements are possible on ground, unground and liquid samples when the autosampler is detached.

Throughput and operationThe detachable autosampler increases throughput and walk-away time by automatically loading, analyzing and unloading samples. Detachable magazines simplify transport of sample batches and optimize workflow. The autosampler uses a gravity-based loading design with a built-in sample ejector for reliable operation and low maintenance.
Risk reduction and traceabilityAutomated loading and separate sample registration reduce handling errors. Features such as barcode scanning and sample matching support traceability of results.
