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.

Testing Solutions for Metals and PFAS in Water
January 22nd 2025When it comes to water analysis, it can be challenging for labs to keep up with ever-changing testing regulations while also executing time-efficient, accurate, and risk-mitigating workflows. To ensure the safety of our water, there are a host of national and international regulators such as the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), World Health Organization (WHO), and the European Union (EU) that demand stringent testing methods for drinking water and wastewater. Those methods often call for fast implementation and lengthy processes, as well as high sensitivity and reliable instrumentation. This paper explains how your ICP-MS, ICP-OES, and LC-MS-MS workflows can be optimized for compliance with the latest requirements for water testing set by regulations like US EPA methods 200.8, 6010, 6020, and 537.1, along with ISO 17294-2. It will discuss the challenges faced by regulatory labs to meet requirements and present field-proven tips and tricks for simplified implementation and maximized uptime.
Practical Autodilution for ICP-MS and ICP-OES
January 20th 2025Gain insights into improving efficiency and accuracy in elemental analysis through automated dilution technology. Learn about the key capabilities of the Agilent ADS 2 system and its seamless integration with ICP-MS and ICP-OES workflows.
UV-Vis Spectroscopy: Exporting Your Measurement Out of the Instrument
January 20th 2025Optical fibers in ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy can enable measurements outside the traditional sample compartment. This paper details the components needed for fiber optic systems, such as couplers and probes, and reviews the performance of Agilent's Cary series instruments. It is crucial to choose the right fiber optic setup for a specific lab’s needs to ensure accurate and efficient measurements.
