A LabSpec^®2500 portable near infrared spectroscopy system has recently been supplied by Analytik Ltd to further enhance quality at Essential Nutrition.

Primarily the LabSpec^®2500's unique speed of measurement, portability and flexibility will be utilized for raw material verification in goods inwards areas. The capability of LabSpec^®2500 to deliver rapid raw materials verification, in many cases by measuring through the packaging, is expected to be of significant benefit.

Its portability as well as the capability for through-the-bag measurement will enable raw material identification to be carried out where it's needed, when it's needed. The flexibility this brings will also allow us to easily utilize near infrared technology in other areas in the future too, such as blend monitoring and finished product quality and verification. With the addition of LabSpec^®2500 to our team, we now have the capability to perform more testing with minimal additional resources which overall will be a great asset to quality assurance at Essential Nutrition."
