Miniature NIR: Improved Accuracy, Cost Savings
With gas and diesel fuel prices rising, there is an increasing need to monitor online quality control and blending mixtures. The benefits include improved accuracy in blending mixtures, solid state reliability, lifetime calibration and fraud avoidance.

BaySpec is now delivering a compact, robust, affordable NIR Spectrometer engine ideal for OEM integration into fuel analyzer applications. The SuperGamut™ features excellent wavelength accuracy and repeatability at a low cost of ownership.
BaySpec's SuperGamut™ Series NIR Spectral Engines solve today's challenges through the application of proprietary Volume Phase Grating (VPG™) technology offering for the first time instrumentation manufacturers the features they need:
- Excellent spectral resolution and measurement accuracy
- Fast data acquisition speed
- Compact, handheld size saving space and weight
- High reliability through hermetically-sealed, no moving parts designs
- Ultra-low power consumption for portability and enhanced reliability
- Volume production experience for lot-lot consistency and lower cost
- Lifetime calibration
The SuperGamut™ Series was born out the telecommunication markets' "boom and bust", which produced an array of components and technologies, such as, revolutionary Volume Phase Gratings (VPG®), high speed electronic chips, reliable low cost light source and high speed NIR photo-detectors. Collectively, they enable the dream of a low-cost, yet highly accurate spectral device. Out of the ashes comes new growth.
SuperGamut™ Series instruments yield high spectral resolution and high optical throughputs under harsh environmental conditions over a broad NIR 800–2500 nm range at attractive total costs of ownership. Both reflectance and transmission modes of spectroscopic measurements and process applications are supported.
Customers in NIR spectroscopy and biomedical industries are now benefiting and building systems to meet the world's current optical system challenges.

Poster Presentation - RISE imaging of various phases of SiC in sintered silicon-carbide ceramics
November 12th 2024In this poster presentation applications manager Ute Schmidt discusses the use of correlative Raman-SEM (RISE Microscopy) imaging for analyzing silicon-carbide (SiC) ceramics. The main focus of the work is investigating the distribution of sub-micron structured polytypes of SiC grains on and below the surface.
FT-IR gas analysis of coal-to-ethylene glycol process
October 31st 2024Coal-to-ethylene glycol is the process by which ethylene glycol is synthesized from coal instead of traditional methods using petroleum as the raw material. This study demonstrates that Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR) can be a reliable alternative to simultaneously measure methyl nitrite and other process gases (such as CO and NO) using a single ABB analyzer.
