TrinamiX Mobile NIR Spectrometer SYS-IR-R-P Portable Kit With Case

TrinamiX Mobile NIR Spectrometer SYS-IR-R-P Portable Kit With Case

What it does

NIR spectroscopy shines near-infrared light onto a sample and analyzes the reflected spectrum. The software uses that spectral information to identify or characterize the material.

Typical applications include:

• Plastic identification and sorting
• Textile/fiber identification
• Feed and agricultural analysis
• Incoming/outgoing material quality control
• Recycling and raw-material verification

trinamiX describes PAL One as a compact, rugged handheld device that communicates with a smartphone app via Bluetooth, with results managed through its Customer Portal.

About the “SYS-IR-R-P” kit

The SYS-IR-R-P appears to be the product/system designation rather than a separate analytical technique. A current secondary-market listing identifies it as a Portable NIR Spectrometer Kit, with Bluetooth and USB-C connectivity. That listing is for an open-box unit, so its included accessories should not be assumed to represent every original kit.

The system is more than just the physical spectrometer: trinamiX’s ecosystem includes the spectrometer + smartphone app + cloud-based data analysis/customer portal, and appropriate application/license access is important for getting useful material-identification results.

Important if you’re considering buying one

The biggest thing to check is what application/license is included. The hardware alone isn’t necessarily equivalent to a complete ready-to-use plastic, textile, feed, etc. analyzer. trinamiX offers application-specific solutions and licensing, including user and data-manager licenses.

Also note that PAL Two is now part of trinamiX’s newer portfolio, so a SYS-IR-R-P/PAL One unit may be an older-generation device. PAL Two has an integrated display and is also IP65-rated.
