New Generation of Portable Infrared Analysers with Enhanced Performance Features

A new generation of portable, easy-to-use infrared (IR) analysers – InfraCal 2 – that provides fast, on-site measurements with better sensitivity for more challenging applications has been introduced from Wilks Enterprise (USA).

The InfraCal 2 Portable IR Analysers combine improved electronics which significantly increase signal-to-noise ratio with a touch screen intuitive display that allows for a multitude of new options and features – including multiple calibrations, internal data logging, alarm functions, security/password protection, data transfer capabilities, and internal battery pack. The result is a compact, rugged package, weighing less than 6 lbs., with no moving parts and the low maintenance qualities found in other Wilks analysers.

The InfraCal 2 provides improved sensitivity and detection limits for a variety of on-site measurements such as sub-ppm detection levels of oil in water, cleaning efficiency of metal parts, barrier layers in flexible films, textile and fibre finishes, and numerous quality control measurements. While designed for field applications, it is equally at home in the analytical laboratory for virtually any IR quantitative measurement that needs to be done easily, routinely and economically.

The new InfraCal 2 Analysers make it economical and easier than ever to move repetitive measurements from the lab to the actual analysis site where they can be routinely handled by non-technical personnel. On-site measurements using the InfraCal 2 Analyser typically takes from one to 10 minutes (depending on the analysis) and eliminate the wait for off-site lab results which can take hours or days to receive.
