Galaxy Scientific - Model QuasIR- 3000 - FT-NIR Spectrometer for Solids Analysis
The QuasIR 3000 FT-NIR spectrometer was designed from the ground up to offer the industry a new kind of NIR analysis solution – a solution that brings together the portability required to move NIR analysis closer to point-of-need, combined with unmatched spectroscopic performance for the fastest and most accurate results.
Our QuasIR™ 3000 FT-NIR spectrometer is equipped with an integrating sphere for reflection measurements of solids as well as transflectance measurements of opaque liquids and pastes. The instrument has a wide range of applications, especially in the food and agriculture sectors.
It was engineered to ensure direct calibration transfer without the frustration of standardizing instruments or adjusting models to accommodate excessive instrument variability. The heart of the QuasIR™ 3000 Near infrared analyzer is our PermAlign™ optics technology, an innovative optical design that maintains alignment and performance under conditions from the routine to the extreme. Our technology and design ensure unmatched consistency and direct methods transfer with no loss in performance so you can expand your QuasIR™ fleet with confidence.
Experts know that good NIR results always start with good sampling and this means a large measurement spot size and the largest possible sampling volume. With that in mind, the QuasIR™ 3000 NIR Spectrometer was engineered with an enhanced23 mm sampling area, which is up to 5 times larger than competitive products. Our large sampling area with scratch resistant sapphire window helps produce better and more reproducible results. An internal background shutter mechanism permits automatic collection of background scans without the need for external reference materials or user interaction. An optional, easy-to-attach spinner further increases the sampling area, and various sampling cups and accessories increase the versatility of the instrument.

It is not feasible to list all the industries we serve. Aggregate, mining, and academia are amongst many others. If you are uncertain if our technology can meet your needs, please contact us to discuss the details of your application or to request a feasibility study.
Historically, transferring NIR calibrations from one instrument to another has been a challenging task. One of the greatest advantages of FT-NIR technology is direct calibration transfer. NIR calibration can easily be transferred from one FT-NIR instrument to another even if it is not the same model or made by the same manufacturer.
Galaxy Scientific FT-NIR spectrometers combine portability and performance to get the near infrared results you need, where and when you need them. Our robust and compact design is dust proof and splash proof and can be taken outside the lab to the point-of-need. Our near-infrared spectrometers are lightweight with a small footprint and quickly attach to a laptop or tablet computer, can operate from a variety of power sources, and have a rugged design that ensures they can be moved without damage.
Galaxy Scientific’s high-performance FT-NIR technology offers significant advantages such as high spectral resolution, best-in-class signal-to-noise ratio, inherently stable wavelength accuracy, and full spectral range. All models utilize Galaxy’s PermAlign™ Fourier Transform Technology, taking near-infrared instrumentation to the next level by offering incredibly high-performance measurements in a small, portable design. Benefits include permanent interferometer alignment, small & lightweight design, and robust field operation
This compact design allows us to offer “depot service” meaning our products can be easily shipped via standard shipping methods, without the need for a freight shipment. A product can be overnighted to us, evaluated and repaired (if needed) upon receipt and then overnighted back to our customer. This is much cheaper and faster than having to send a specialist to the customer site…
Galaxy Scientific products are designed to be easily installed by the end user and without the need for an expensive on-site product start-up by our experts.
The QuasIR 3000 is equipped with a high-performance gold-coated integrating sphere for NIR analysis in solids. It has an enhanced 23 mm sampling area, which is up to 5 times larger than competitive products. The large sampling area, with scratch-resistant sapphire window, helps produce better, more reproducible results.
