ABB Analytical High-Performance Measurement and Analysis Equipment


ABB Analytical’s quality by design approach to process analytical technology (PAT) provides the pharmaceutical industry with a comprehensive range of equipment for measuring and analysing chemical composition of compounds
Spectrometers with process analytical technology (PAT)
Our company designs, manufactures, and markets high-performance FT-IR and FT-NIR spectrometers that guarantee PAT results. Their strength is in advanced optical design, guaranteed method transferability and sampling flexibility.
This powerful technology provides quick results with virtually no sample preparation. Through ABB’s products, analytical experts and process engineering services consultants, we can assist you in the process assessment of where the product variability comes from, and identify how we can reduce product quality issues and production cycle time.

Products and Services

FTPA2000-260PH: Multi-Point FT-NIR Analyser
This versatile analyser is fully validatable and allows development of methods for monitoring product critical quality attributes (CQAs). It is also the ideal solution for implementation of process analytical technology (PAT) in manufacturing environments, as part of quality by design (QbD) initiatives.

MB3000-PH: FT-IR Spectrometer
The MB3000-PH is designed for QA/QC, formulation and research and development laboratories. It is extremely versatile and can use a wide variety of easily swappable ABB or third-party accessories that are pinned in place and do not require alignment (MIRacle ATR, horizontal ATR, DRIFT, gas cells, microscope).

MB3600-PH: FT-NIR Spectrometer
Since 1997, ABB has supplied the life science and pharmaceutical industries with high-performance analytical instruments that have an established reputation for performance and reliability.

MB-Rx: Real-Time Reaction Monitoring
Intended for laboratories and pilot plants, the MB-Rx reaction monitor provides chemists with direct access to real-time experiment data via a rugged insertion probe and an intuitive software interface. The MB-Rx is designed around the key concepts of analytical performance, reliability and simplicity.
