The AvaSpec-HERO is the answer for those who are in need of high-resolution and high sensitivity! This spectrometer combines the best of both worlds, so no compromise is needed.
The AvaSpec-HERO is built around our High-Sensitivity, Compact (HSC), 100mm optical bench offering a NA of 0.13 and a cooled, back-thinned detector (1024×58 pixels). Electronics-wise, it uses our latest AS7010 board, which includes a high-performance analog-to-digital converter with excellent noise performance and the ability of high-speed communication through USB 3.0 and Ethernet.
The combination of these two state-of-the-art components will give you an excellent instrument, offering the ideal balance between sensitivity and resolution and the capability of using longer integration times in low-light applications yet ensuring perfect signal-to-noise performance, transferred by the latest communication standards. A real HERO for your application! Find out why a recent OEM customer from the food industry had this to say:
We knew almost right away after using the HERO that it’s a superior instrument, but it is becoming even more apparent just how much better it is in virtually every aspect of performance.
The Avaspec-HERO is suitable for use with replaceable slits, offering optimum flexibility for various applications. The combination of all the above features makes the AvaSpec-Hero your ideal companion for all your spectroscopic measurements.
The AvaSpec-ULS2048x64TEC-EVO is an updated version of our AvaSpec-ULS2048x64TEC spectrometer with improved electronics and cooling.
This instrument enhances the SensLine series with its cooled, back-thinned detector. The back-thinned detector has a high level of sensitivity in the UV and IR regions. The 64-pixel height (0.89 mm) enables catching as many photons as possible, while the cooling allows for long integration times of up to 120 seconds with low noise levels.
The instrument features a Peltier cooling device integrated into our exclusive ultra-low stray-light optical bench, which can reduce the temperature of the CCD chip to -30°C against ambient, significantly improving the dark baseline and PRNU level. The detector cooling also reduces the dark noise by a factor of 2-3.
Combining exceptional quantum efficiency with high-speed communication is the value proposition of the AvaSpec-ULS2048XL EVO spectrometer. Unlike many back-thinned CCD spectrometers with two-dimensional arrays, the ULS2048XL-EVO has large monolithic pixels of 14×500 microns with exceptional efficiency in the UV range, from 200 to 400 nm, and the NIR range, from 950 to 1160 nm.
The instrument also has an electronic shutter, which enables integration times as low as 2 microseconds. To further enhance sensitivity, a detector collection lens is available, which improves sensitivity up to 60% when combined with larger core fibers.
For high-sensitivity applications where high resolution is not of paramount concern, the AvaSpec-HS2048XL-EVO is an exceptional instrument.
Featuring Avantes’ HS optical bench, which has a full 0.22 numerical aperture for superior throughput, the AvaSpec-HS2048XL has a back-thinned CCD detector with 2048 pixels measuring 14×500 microns.
The AvaSpec-HS2048XL-EVO uses our AS-7010 electronics board offering USB3 (10 times faster than USB2), Gigabit Ethernet, and better signal processing.
Alongside the cooled AvaSpec-ULS2048x64TEC-EVO with a low-noise detector, Avantes also offers the uncooled AvaSpec-ULS2048x64-EVO. With its standard 2048×64 back-thinned detector, this spectrometer is perfect for less demanding applications in the UV and NIR ranges.
The cooling option is often unnecessary for applications that require integration times lower than 2 seconds. For example, this uncooled AvaSpec-ULS2048x64-EVO has an established track record in various DOAS(Differential optical absorption spectroscopy) applications worldwide because of its high UV response and 0.9mm detector height that enables detecting the wavelengths of interest.
Options include an order-sorting filter to reduce second-order effects and purge ports for deep-UV measurements. The AvaSpec-ULS2048x64-EVO comes with a wide range of slit sizes and gratings and can be configured with SMA or FC/PC fiber-optic entrance connectors.
The AvaSpec-ULS2048x64-EVO uses the AS-7010 electronics board offering USB3 (10 times faster than USB2), Gigabit Ethernet, and better signal processing.
Connection to your PC is handled via USB3 connection or Ethernet, delivering a scan every two milliseconds. The instrument comes complete with AvaSoft-Basic software, a USB cable, and an extensive manual.
The latest addition to our CompactLine: the AvaSpec-Mini-NIR!
Like our other CompactLine spectrometers, this device is only the size of a deck of cards. It is USB powered, which makes it easy to integrate into other devices and handheld applications. Since the AvaSpec-Mini-NIR has no moving parts, it is very robust and can be used in virtually any environment.
The AvaSpec-Mini-NIR is a compact near-infrared spectrometer based on a combination of our popular AvaSpec-NIR256-1.7-EVO and Mini-series.
Of course, the AvaSpec-Mini-NIR works seamlessly with our AvaSoft software and the available Windows and Linux libraries.
Suppose size is not an essential factor for your application. In that case, we recommend the AvaSpec-Mini-NIR’s bigger brother, the AvaSpec-NIR256-1.7-EVO, which is bigger but offers slightly higher sensitivity levels.
Benefits
- Compact, versatile NIR spectrometer
- USB powered and easy to integrate into other devices
- 900-1700 nm wavelength range
- 256 pixels
- Suitable for various applications, including food analysis and recycling
For measurements in the near-infrared range up to 1.7 µm, Avantes offers a new series of uncooled spectrometer configurations. The AvaSpec-NIR256-1.7-EVO and the AvaSpec-NIR512-1.7-EVO offer the same high-sensitivity optical bench, but with the next generation of electronics. Both instruments deliver the same exceptional performance specifications, such as a sample speed of only 0.53 ms/scan and integration times as fast as 10 µs, as the Avantes instruments you have come to trust.
For applications where resolution is key, or more datapoints for modelling are required, the 512 pixel detector will be the best choice.
The AvaSpec-NIR256/512-1.7-EVO spectrometers pair the same trusted InGaAs array detectors with our ultra low-noise electronics board featuring USB3 and Giga-Ethernet connection port. Digital and analogue I/O ports enable external triggering and control over the shutter and pulsed light sources and choose from two distinct software-controlled gain-setting modes, high-sensitivity mode (HS, default) and the low-noise mode (LN).
These affordable, uncooled instruments are USB powered and are available with a choice of four gratings and replaceable slit options to match the bandwidth and requirements fitting your application.
Did you know the AvaSpec-NIR257-1.7 has a little brother? Our new AvaSpec-Mini-NIR uses the same detector as its bigger counterpart, but in a much smaller package. This makes it perfect for OEM use and integration into handheld devices.
