Patented auto wavelength alignment on every scan without user intervention. InGaAs detector provides solid-state performance, higher signal to noise, lower drift and more stability than old fashioned PbS detectors.
Larger measuring area per scan.

Easy MLR Transfer
Routine MLR equations can be seamlessly transferred from other NIR instrumentation.

Easy NIR Database Transfer
The patented TransStar™ software can be used to easily transfer your current NIR database from any NIR instrument in just minutes.

Easy to Use and Customize
Windows™ based operating system. Two USB and one Ethernet (R) 45 connector interfaces
are standard.

Low Maintenance
Optimized lamp for higher energy throughput and longer life – MTBF 10,000 hours.
Unrestricted grating motion for greater stability.

Small Footprint
Completely self-contained with built in PC and large touch screen display.

SpectraStar™ from Unity Scientific is the next generation, top of the line, full scanning NIR analyzer designed for the food, feed, agricultural, tobacco, dairy, industrial, and pharmaceutical industries.

SpectraStar™ is reliable and rugged enough for both the process floor and QC lab, yet powerful enough to be used as a research tool. SpectraStar™ is a flexible system that can work with a variety of sample cups to measure unground materials, powders, liquids, gels, and pastes. Near-Infrared (NIR) testing requires minimal sample preparation and is generally non-destructive. Developed for convenience and ease-of-use, the SpectrStar™ is extremely flexible and can be configured for the analysis of solids, slurries and suspensions. The drawer model features rotation to measure unground or partially ground materials through a variety of sample cups and accessories. Samples are simply loaded into a cup and the drawer is closed to analyze.

The SpectraStar™ drawer system is available in two wavelength configurations: The SpectraStar™ 2400 and The SpectraStar™ 2200.

The SpectraStar™ 2400 is a workhorse instrument that scans the wavelength range of 1200-2400 nm. This range encompasses most of the critical wavelengths in the NIR spectrum, including the primary combination bands above 1900 nm. This wavelength range also covers the same range used by older NIR filter instruments from Technicon, Bran+Luebbe, Perten, and DICKEY-john, meaning that calibrations from these systems can easily be transferred to the SpectraStar™ 2400.

The SpectraStar™ 2200 scans the wavelength range of 1100-2200 nm. This instrument is the entry level offering, and is great for customers where the loss of accuracy caused by not scanning to 2400 nm is not critical to the analysis.

For those customers who wish to develop their own calibrations, CalStar™ software provides an easy tool for calibration development and database management. CalStar software is an intuitive Windows™ based program, that allows for the development of both quantitative (MLR and PLS) and qualitative calibrations.

Each SpectraStar™ system features a built-in Windows-based computer. All results and raw data are stored to the hard drive with date and time stamps. All information can be transferred easily via email to aid in the support process. The SpectraStar™ provides full network capability and is LIMS compatible. The system can be accessed remotely via the Internet or modem for data transfer, calibration transfer, configuration, or diagnostics.

SpectraStar™ is extremely reliable and requires little maintenance. The instrument is small and portable and contains no air filter or fan. The SpectraStar™ lamp carries a 10,000 hour rating and can be changed by the customer. Instrument performance, calibrations, and networks of instruments can all be maintained through the UniStar™ software, a next generation software package that simplifies the NIR support process.
