FT-NIR Spectroscopy: Combining Performance, Precision, and Simplicity
Thursday, January 19, 2012
11:00 AM EST
This webcast will introduce a new FT-NIR instrument, with a low cost of ownership, that we believe can transform the way you currently analyze samples. We will present applications from the life sciences, chemical, polymer, feed, and food industries to demonstrate the accuracy and precision of the analysis in comparison with the primary methods.
