subject: Foss Nir: Revolutionizing The Technology Of Chemical And Pharmaceutical Industries [print this page] In our world today, petrochemical, chemical and pharmaceutical industries have been thriving and growing, making it lucrative for its owners and pioneers. When it comes to these types of industries, accuracy and precision is crucial. Since they are dealing with highly toxic and lethal elements and compounds, the utmost precaution needs to be taken.
Be it liquids, pastes, gels slurries, solids or granules, all these can be analyzed by modular systems. So why is it important for pharmaceutical, petrochemical and chemical companies to invest in such high-end equipment? Well, for one thing, these state-of-the-art mechanisms are capable of measuring such complex entities.
Secondly, these types of companies need to adhere to strict regulations and procedures. There are so many hazards that post a threat to the environment and to people as well. If any of these chemicals leak out into the air, it could lead to acid rain and even destroy the ozone layer.
It can also cause life-threatening diseases and contaminate water systems as well. Hence, certified scientists and professionals are the only ones allowed to handle these kinds of equipment. They need to comply with the safety regulations such as wearing a complete protection suit and be aware of the conditions inside the laboratory.
Agricultural feed analysis and forage analysis were the first projects of FOSS NIR. Dr. John Shenk, a scientist from the Pennsylvania State University developed forage analysis software which was acquired by FOSS. This led to their progress and made them known as the top supplier of forage systems around the world.
The worldwide industry recognized FT-NIR or Fourier Transform-Near Infrared when it saw that it was a highly efficient tool for quality control. Its scanning technology was so advanced that it improved it quantitative preciseness. Moreover, it was also able to improve it chemometric software which made the equipment even more sophisticated. And lastly, due to its advancement in mathematical capabilities with regard to the computer system, it became a cost-effective way to be more productive.
Hence, FOSS Nir made a name for itself in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries due to its world-renowned standards and technology.
