Polymers
The ALPHA II is intensively used in the polymer industry. The ALPHA II
inspects incoming raw materials, test finished products and investigate
coated surfaces. One of the biggest user benefits, are Bruker's
dedicated, up-to-date and ready-to-use methods to identify and
characterize recently introduced polymers and fillers.
Pharmaceuticals
Early on, Bruker decided to design their software with the needs of
pharmaceutical companies in mind. Therefore, OPUS and OPUS Touch follow
the ALCOA+ principle and are 100% compliant with all major
pharmacopoeias and of course 21 CFR part 11. Whether locally or on a
server, the ALPHA II ensures data integrity and security.
Industrial Manufacturing & Automotive
Infrared spectroscopy is a decisive tool in industrial applications,
whether automated and in-line or manual and off-line. The ALPHA II is
used to investigate coatings, used oils, finished products and much
more.
Teaching
The ALPHA II is the most modern approach to FT-IR spectroscopy. Its
optional touch-PC gets students interested and quickly involved with
science. Its rugged, maintenance-free lets it withstand even the
toughest chemistry teaching labs.
Quantifications
Several accessories and toolkits are available to turn the ALPHA II into
a quantification power house. Check water in oil, API concentrations,
the amount of deuterium oxide in H2O or even the residual
ammonia in parquet flooring. Multiple quantification methods facilitate
reporting and documentation of results.
Food & Beverage
As a reliable analyzer for wine, must and juices, the ALPHA II has found
widespread use across the world. It analyzes sugar, alcohol and other
contents in an efficient, fast and affordable manner. It is also used in
FOA (foreign object analysis), identifying unknown contaminations in
processed or packaged foods.
Forensic Drug Analysis
Our exclusive TICTAC spectral library for drug analysis that contains
traditional as well as newly introduced drugs and illegal substances. On
top of that, its ease-of-use and the ability to quickly move it between
operation sites make it an useful tool for governmental institutions
like police or border control.
Artefacts & Jewellery
Historical works of art and jewellery have one thing in common: both are
precious. The ALPHA II is applied in the restoration of historical
paintings, buildings and artwork, and is also an affordable tool for the
identification and type classification of diamonds and other gemstones.
Environmental
One of
the many environmental applications is the analysis of microplastics.
Particles >500 µm are placed onto the ALPHA II, and a special “high
pressure” accessory guarantees spectral quality. Additionally, the ALPHA
II is also used to analyze and classify soils as well as other
environmental pollutants.
