Thermo Fisher Scientific Demonstrates NIR Leadership with New Comprehensive Web Resource

Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., the world leader in serving science, has launched a new web site to provide detailed information on near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy and the Thermo Scientific NIR product family. This informative and user-friendly web site, www.thermo.com/nir (link at Article website), has been designed to serve as the most comprehensive point of reference for all NIR spectroscopy users.

The new web site facilitates quick and easy navigation through a wealth of information about the entire range of Thermo Scientific NIR solutions and an extensive selection of NIR applications. Detailed descriptions of each application are provided and theory is further supported using experimental examples to first help users determine if NIR is the best technique for their individual application requirements and then decide on the most appropriate instrument to buy.

In addition, the web site provides visitors with a learning center that offers a wide range of interactive tools, including an "Ask the Experts" feature that allows visitors to address the knowledgeable team of Thermo Scientific NIR experts with questions about sampling and other NIR applications. A short, easy-to-complete question form is provided and a personal answer is sent by email. This section also features a comprehensive list of answers to previously submitted questions.

The learning center also includes detailed information on upcoming, free-of-charge webinars organized to cover an array of topics ranging from an introduction to NIR and the technique’s most common applications to advanced chemometrics and model building. The in-depth webinars include live Q&A, interactive polling and follow-up literature. For extra convenience, the new NIR web site provides a digital library of pre-recorded webinars available for viewing or downloading 24 hours a day. The learning center also features an expansive NIR technical applications library, which allows users to download application notes and white papers.

A “News & Events” section provides up-to-date information on NIR seminars and trade show events while also offering a subscription to the Thermo Scientific A-Wire e-Newsletter. This free of charge, quarterly publication is designed to offer vital information on the latest developments in process analysis.
