Centice Corporation, a Morrisville, N.C-based sensor technology developer, has announced the launch of the low-cost NetSenX solution, a Raman spectrometer designed for identification / verification applications.
NetSenX provides field workers, scientists, manufacturing managers and quality control professional with a mobile platform that leverages Raman Spectroscopy for commercial applications. It offers method development mode for researchers and a verification/identification sensor mode for non-researchers.
The solution can be securely deployed with spectral matching capabilities made possible by the integration of an on-board computer. This combination of analytical instrumentation with network communication allows the deployment of the NetSenX in distributed environments.
NetSenX is available with software that enables spectra capture, target database creation for spectral matching and also aids in locking the reference spectra for matching of field target substance. The sensor solution also allows networked users to view, control and manage the NetSenX solution remotely from their mobile devices using HTML 5 interfaces. The NetsenX sensor can provide reliable measurements of samples, enabled by using the Coded Aperture Raman Spectroscopy, which offers a high resolution throughput unlike the conventional Raman spectrometers. The Coded Aperture spectrometer not only offers measurement reliability across various sensors but also provides a large target area, fixed aperture reliability and ensures low cost design.
The NetSenX solution can be used to detect illegal substances, ensure compute mixture consistency, define the chemical composition of substances, examine product quality during the manufacturing process and verify additives and polymers.
The Vice President – Engineering at Centice, Dr. Brett Guenther stated that the NetSenX solution, in the sensor mode offers unparalleled on-board processing for matching and spectra capture, and provides a secure UI for verification and identification.
