  • Page 12: Product Description

    3.2 Sample presentation options The choice of sample presentation of ProxiMate™ is optimised for the type of sample under analysis and for the working environment where the instrument is used. ProxiMate™ can be configured with a choice of sample presentation options: up view and down view configurations.

  • Page 13: Down View Option

    As plastics have their own NIR spectra, changes in type of dish can influence the measurement output leading to perceived measurement shifts. Use of the down view mode prevents this from occurring. Additionally ProxiMate™ down view also allows the use of large volume sample dishes. These are particularly useful with samples that are inhomogeneous, as the measurement is averaged over a much larger sample area.
