Streamlined Workflow Operation

Supports multiple sampling modes, auto‑ATR functionality, and guided sample navigation within a single platform. Designed to help laboratories move efficiently between routine analyses and more complex investigations without reconfiguring systems.

Adaptive IR Imaging Performance

Combines single‑point and array detector options with optical configurations intended to support IR imaging across varied sample types, including non‑flat or heterogeneous materials, while maintaining consistent spectral acquisition.

Future‑Ready Platform Design

Built with configurable hardware and software components to support evolving analytical needs. The Aurora family is designed to accommodate workflow changes and emerging applications without requiring wholesale system replacement.

For Microplastics

Designed to assist in identifying and mapping microplastics within complex matrices using IR spectral information aligned with visual imaging, supporting environmental and materials research workflows.

For Pharmaceuticals

Enables generation of chemical distribution maps to assess uniformity and composition of pharmaceutical formulations. Software and data management features are designed to support regulated laboratory environments, including 21 CFR Part 11 considerations.

For Packaging and Coatings

Supports analysis of polymer layers, coatings, and multilaminate structures by enabling chemical mapping and inspection for uniformity, contamination, or material degradation within a single analytical workflow.
