OverviewProxiScout™ is a portable, MIL‑PRF‑2800 Class 2 rated FT‑NIR spectrometer designed for rapid, in‑field material analysis. It delivers near‑laboratory accuracy for composition and conformity checks through an integrated mobile application with offline capability, enabling immediate decision making and streamlined on‑site workflows.
Key features- Spectral range 1350–2550 nm (FT‑NIR) for overtone and combination bands relevant to moisture, fats, proteins and other constituents.
- Ruggedized design meeting MIL‑PRF‑2800 Class 2 criteria for shock, drop and vibration resistance in industrial field conditions.
- Mobile app and cloud integration for multi‑sample, multi‑parameter analysis with secure data management and offline operation.
- Battery operation using two user‑replaceable Li‑Ion 18650 cells; typical endurance up to ~800 scans per charge (manufacturer data).
- Multi‑parameter models for quantifying moisture, fat, protein and other quality attributes from a single measurement.
Accessories (examples)- Rotator kit — rotating cup for non‑homogeneous and granular solids.
- Liquid analysis kit — transflectance vial holder and path‑length accessories for clear and opaque liquids.
- Powder analysis kit — precision dish and sample press for powders and ground solids.
Operation & documentationManufacturer‑provided product brochure, quick start guide and full user manual cover device setup, calibration procedures, maintenance and safety. The mobile application manages measurements, calibrations and results history with export options for QC systems.
