Antaris II near-infrared (NIR) analyzers offer a common platform for method, procedure, and data transferability of analytical quality control methods along product development and scale-up processes. Antaris MX and EX FT-NIR address the needs of pharmaceutical, biotechnology, food, chemical, and pulp and paper industries. Common platform makes the analyzers especially suited for method development, raw materials analysis, batch reaction monitoring, on- and off-line moisture analysis, real-time blend uniformity analysis, and tablet analysis. They are ready for implementation as process analytical technology (PAT) in the pharmaceutical industry. Devices are available with a choice of software packages for transferring data. www.thermo.com/nir Thermo Electron Corp.
