Handheld NIR
A handheld Nir is an instrument designed to allow complex analyses to be carried out in a short time with the help of a small Nir spectrometer. It is a real revolution in the field of Nir spectroscopic analysis, as it makes the analysis of matter extremely practical and easy.
AuroraNir and AlbaNir are portable Nir analyzers incorporating the most advanced technology developed and designed for the agro-food and renewable energy sectors. Every component, from the lamp to the sensor, from the optical window to the chassis, from the batteries to the electronics up to the integrated PC, has been designed to meet the needs of a demanding market that requires a portable NIR analyzer with these characteristics:
- Robustness: for field measurements in any weather condition
- Ease of use: for a simple management even for non-expert operators
- Long battery life
- Quick battery change
- Reliable analytical results
- Customization of analytical reports and data archives
- Low cost of ownership

OUR NIR

What are the advantages of portable Nir?
The portable Nir Aurora, as well as Alba, thanks to its small size, ensures fast and accurate analysis of your food and biomass directly in the field during the harvesting phase.
Not only that, the instrument comes pre-calibrated for the analysis of different matrices.
The portable Nir ensures accurate and rapid analysis of forages directly on the farm.
It allows to verify the quality and homogeneity of trenches and mixtures to guarantee a perfect feed ration.

The Aurora portable Nir
Quality control of ingredients and feed at an affordable price!
The Aurora Nir provides fast and accurate analysis of complete feeds and their ingredients. With the new set of accessories, you can turn the AuroraNir into a benchtop instrument using different types of cuvettes, including the cups already used by Foss and Bluesun instruments.
The Nir analysis instrument comes pre-calibrated for analysis of the dried and ground products.
AuroraNir provides fast and accurate biomass analysis directly at the plant. Analyses carried out directly at the feeding stage ensure optimal yield of the fermentation process. The instrument is supplied pre-calibrated for the analysis of the matrices.
Aurora and Alba, the portable Nir instruments, have a wide range of calibrations for both as-is and dry and ground products. Below is a list of currently available calibrations. For more information on products and parameters, even if not listed, please contact us.
