Ideal for laboratory and researchThe versatile XDS Analysers offer simple and rapid analysis of liquid and/or solid and viscous samples depending on the application. The flexible sample presentation makes it ideal for testing of diverse samples. Samples can be tested in their original vials, bags or bottles or with a wide choice of sample presentation modules. An autosampler option allows unat-tended analysis of up to 50 samples at a time freeing up resources in the laboratory.

In addition to the capacity to handle a wide range of sample types, the XDS analysers offer you new levels of excellence in NIR analysis. Advantages include simplicity-of-use and efficient calibration management.

You’ve got it all!Advanced technology, reliable results, and efficient operations – all are elements of the XDS advantage.

Precise Instrument Matching - XDS provides identical analyti-cal performance across instruments. NIST traceable standards and methods establish the photometric, wavelength and most importantly the bandpass response for each instrument.

Superior Analytical Performance - Wavelength and band-pass accuracy combined with signal-to-noise and photometric performance makes XDS a highly versatile solution.

Seamless Method Transferability - XDS NIR technology en-sures seamless calibration transferability thereby reducing NIR calibration development costs to a minimum. Both quantitative and qualitative methods can be transferred directly from one XDS NIR analyser to another without adjustment.

Network-Ready - XDS NIR analysers are designed to be operated over a network. Data archival and retrieval, spectral database management, performance verification or remote operation can be accessed through this network for improved method development and remote support assistance.

Reliability - Integrated diagnostic routines verify correct in-strument performance. And since all XDS NIR analysers are precisely matched, you are assured of equivalent analytical performance after maintenance without adjustment to your calibration models.

Autosampler - The XDS now has an autosampler option that can free-up time in the laboratory by allowing unattended analysis of up to 50 samples at a time. The unit is easy to use and is operator-independent during operation. Cups are ejected after analysis and collected in a hopper. They can also be removed mid stream. Sample integrity is maintained for possible re-use.

Effective technology for safe and easy useAs well as being simple to use, XDS instruments are straight-forward to run and provide a safe and environmentally-friendly solution with no sample preparation, reagents, hazardous chemicals or chemical waste. The advanced features provided by XDS NIR technology, together with the well known WinISI™ calibration development software, minimize implementation time for the instruments and ensure effective calibration man-agement with seamless calibration model transferability be-tween instruments.

The ISIscan™ software provides a user-friendly interface sup-porting the latest calibration technologies with advanced data exchange (LIMS) and reporting capabilities.

The XDS advantage The technical excellence provided by XDS ensures simplicity of use, efficient operations and the capacity to handle a wide range of sample types.

Specific advantages include:• Superior analytical performance providing high quality results

in less than 60 seconds• Instrument standardisation that reduces calibration costs

by allowing the same calibration to be used on different instruments

• Flexible sample presentation allows samples to be analysed in standard XDS sample cups, disposable bags, glass vials, beakers or quartz cuvettes with different path-lengths and disposable vials, depending on application.

• Full visible and near-infrared (NIR) scanning with sensitive outlier detection to minimise the number of samples needed to get a robust calibration model

Technology

The XDS Analysers meet NEMA 12/IP55 requirements

• 400-2500 nm scanning range with sensitive outlier detection minimizes the number of samples needed to get a robust calibration model

• User-friendly software for efficient calibration development and operations

• Simplicity of use in the lab or in the control room• Use PLS, ANN or LOCAL identification models

The XDS™ NIR Rapid Content Analyser: Uses NIR reflectance technology for determination of f. ex protein, fat, moisture, fibre, starch, amino acids and more, depending on application, in solids and slurries, for complete quality control and assurance at-line or in the lab.

Specific features:• Additional auto sampler option for multiple sample load and

hands free operations • Optional calibrations are offered for specific sample types

such as feed samples

The XDS™ NIR Rapid Liquid Analyser:Uses NIR transmittance technology for determination of f. ex FFA, moisture, phosphorous lipids, IV and PV, as well as K232 and K270 in Olive Oil, in less than a minute (for preheated samples). This allows full control of the vegetable oil refinery process or olive oil segregation without waiting for time con-suming traditional wet chemistry analysis. The instrument can also perform routine analysis, of liquid and viscous raw material samples, material in production and finished products.

Specific features:• Temperature controlled sample compartment ensures high

performance

For routine analysis or research laboratory applicationFor research laboratory applications, the broad scanning range (400 –2500 nm) (VIS and NIR) and the flexible sample presen-tation provides a highly versatile analysis platform that is both accurate and fast.

For routine analysis, the instrument can be used for analysis of raw materials, for process control and for analysis of final products.

Relevant features include:• Easy-to-make robust calibrations • Transferable calibration models between instruments • Full spectra outlier detection for secure results • NIST traceable performance test• Versatile sample presentation.

ISIscan™ softwareISIscan™ is a powerful tool for routine and diagnostic reporting and integration of results into your LIMS or process system. The software stores all results, settings and calibrations, giving you full traceability for your NIR results. It is simple to retrieve historical data and export it in any of several formats.

WinISI™ calibration softwareWinISI™ software offers advanced features for creating robust application models. Data management and population struc-turing tools optimise selection and maintenance of calibration samples. Advanced chemometric algorithms help you to get the most from your calibrations.
