Buchi Labortechnik - Near Infrared Spectrometers

The Buchi NIRFlex N-500 is the result of systematic development of the proven Buchi NIR instrument line. Thanks to its individually configurable software and hardware modules, its underlying concept satisfies the needs of the pharmaceutical industry.

Buchi's NIRWare is an entirely new generation of software. It has been designed to meet all the needs of our customers. The software is of modular and flexible design without compromising its clear structure.

Our NIRSolutions are integral products comprising state-of-the-art instruments with reliable software and outstanding services.

THE INTERFEROMETER WITH INDIVIDUAL CONFIGURATION

The unique polarization interferometer of NIRFlex N-500 is insensitive to mechanical disturbances. This makes it the ideal choice for industrial applications.

The modular and flexible design comprising the basic unit and various measurement options allows individual configuration to satisfy specific requirements. It is possible to change the options within a matter of seconds to suit a particular application. Each individual measurement cell has been precisely optimized to fit individual applications.

The unique twin lamp module prevents downtime in case of lamp failures. Both lamp and laser can be exchanged by customers themselves, minimizing servicing costs.

Each NIRFlex N-500 is equipped with various grey filters and a standard wavelength. These enable wavelength accuracy, signal-to-noise ratio, and lienarity to be checked using specially designed software modules. This check is indispensible in order to meet regulations.

Various pharmacopoeias contain chapters on near-infrared spectroscopy describing the qualification and performance verification of NIR systems. Our performance verification kit includes all the required standards and simplifies test routines with the aid of the special software module. It guides the user step by step through the test and documents the results in compliance with 21 CFR Part 11.

EASY METHOD DEVELOPMENT WITH NIRWARE AND NIRCAL CHEMOMETRIC SOFTWARE

For years, the Buchi NIRCal chemometric software has proven its worth as a powerful and flexible software package for the development of calibrations. It has been substantially expanded and improved. The wide variations in calibration creation requirements and routine use of NIR spectroscopy have been given special consideration.

The NIRWare software suite is an entirely new generation of software. It has been designed to meet all the needs of our customers and allows routine applications to be created which fulfill a wide variety of needs in terms of data management and the necessary security settings.

The software is of modular and flexible design without compromising its clear structure. NIRWare includes numerous presettings, allowing the development of new applications in just a few steps. Advanced users are offered a large number of options to tailor applications to their specific needs.

DATABASE ORIENTED SOFTWARE ARCHITECTURE

Of course, NIRware complies with the regulations of the pharmaceutical industry such as 21 CFR Part 11. This is underlined by the database-oriented software architecture, which includes a purpose designed life cycle model, and integrated security settings for all software components.

Applications and calibrations in particular are subject to the life cycle model, in which various phases, ranging from development and testing to routine application and disabling, are passed. Each phase transition requires an electronic signature, if specified.

SPECTRAL LIBRARIES

Method development is an important aspect to consider when planning near-infrared projects. Buchi's scope of continuously expanding libraries and methods for identity verification are an essential part of our NIRSolutions concept.

CUSTOMER TRAINING AND SUPPORT

For us it is important that our customers can get most from their Buchi instruments. Therefore we want to contribute to an outstanding performance of the system as much possible to assure proper handling by the user. With training courses and various service and maintenance offerings, Buchi supports this concept.
