Exploring the relationship between ergonomics and measurement quality in handheld FTIR spectrometers

چکیده
The differences in spectrometers designed for use in the lab from those that are deployed at-site, in fi eld locations are rather profound. As an example, laboratory instruments are designed to work on a planar horizontal surface — the bench top — whereas handheld spectrometers are often called upon to operate in virtually every physical position. Interferometers used in lab FTIR spectrometers perform quite well in the aforementioned horizontal position, but many cannot even scan if the measurement requires vertical positioning. For this reason, Agilent handheld FTIR systems have an innovative interferometer design that affords the same quality of data in any physical position that the application demands.

In situ screening of quality traits in tomato cultivars using the handheld 4200 FlexScan FTIR spectrometer
Chemometrics was employed to develop models that utilize infrared spectral measurements to estimate the concentrations of key analytes in tomatoes that determine quality. Models constructed using the handheld Agilent 4200 FlexScan FTIR spectrometer gave results comparable to those obtained using a benchtop spectrometer. The 4200 FlexScan spectrometer thus provides the ability to accurately asse...
