TANGO

Fast and simple FT-NIR spectrometer

TANGO has exactly what users require of an FT-NIR spectrometer suitable for industrial use: Robustness, high precision and straightforward operator guidance. With its intuitive user interface, it guides the operators quickly and securely through the work flow. Also untrained staff can operate the spectrometer securely and error free.

Features:

• Transmission or Reflection measurement mode versions
• Easy-to-use touch screen operation, intuitive handling
• Small footprint
• Direct calibration transfer to and from all existing Bruker Optics NIR spectrometers
• Data exchange via network
• RockSolid™ interferometer for permanently aligned optics and insensitivity to vibrations
• Fully automated test routines for validation according to cGMP (OQ, PQ)
• 21 CFR Part 11 and validation according to EU-, JP- and US-Pharmacopeia

Transmission measurements: highest precision for liquids

TANGO for measuring liquids comes equipped with an active sample heater/cooler as standard. The temperature of the sample can be selected between +20°C and +80°C. A sensor is permanently checking the temperature of the sample vial. This allows for a fast temperature control of the sample and therefore quick and reliable results.

Reflection measurements: analyze solids efficiently

TANGO for measuring solids contains a gold coated integrating sphere for analysis by diffuse reflection. This sphere ensures highly reproducible measurements of inhomogeneous samples.

RockSolid^TM interferometer

The permanently aligned Rocksolid^TM interferometer is a unique patented component which yields over 20% higher throughput than ordinary interferometer design. It benefits from dual retro reflection cube corner mirrors and wear-free pivot mechanism located in the center of mass, which ensures exceptional stability and reliability even in harsh environment. With its patented design, the elimination of mirror tilt optically and prevention of mirror shear mechanically is reached.

Advantages:

• No need of standby mode to protect the bearing
• No need of recalibration after movement
• No wearing of mechanical bearing, no spare parts, minimization of service costs
• Resistance to vibration and thermal effects
