Portable Lightsource And Prove Devices Used With Spectrometers

Wilmington, MA – Polychromix, Inc., a ldeveloper of innovative material analysis, chemical sensing and spectroscopy solutions, today announced the launch of its MobiLight products, a family of long life, portable lightsource and probe devices that support a broad range of spectroscopy applications.

The release of the MobiLight family of lightsources comes only a few months after Polychromix released the revolutionary, low-cost Near Infrared Digital Transform Spectrometer (DTS) product family. The DTS line is powered by Polychromix's state-of-the-art MEMS technology. The MobiLight Lightsources can be combined with any DTS Spectrometer or with other NIR/VIS spectrometers to provide a complete, portable measurement solution for lab or field applications.

The MobiLight product family includes three individual products.

1. The standard MobiLight Lightsource, which incorporates a slot to accommodate filters up to 3 mm thick.
2. The MobiLight+ supports the same standard filter set but also incorporates a 2mm-10mm cuvette holder for transmission or absorption measurements.
3. The MobiLight PRObe is a compact and powerful reflectance probe for surface measurements.

All Polychromix MobiLight Lightsources and probes are powered by using either a computer/laptop USB port or a standard AC outlet at 110-220V, allowing for both laboratory and remote field applications. Additionally, all MobiLight Lightsources include a three-position switch to regulate the light output intensity level for application flexibility.

"After successfully releasing the DTS family in February of this year, it was our goal to compliment this and other spectrometer products by offering a lightweight, low-cost, easy to use lightsource and probing device, thereby providing a complete, portable testing and analysis solution," said Mouli Ramani, vice president of marketing and business development at Polychromix. "With the announcement of this product line and others that will follow in the coming months, Polychromix is signaling its intention to innovate and transform material analysis, chemical sensing and spectroscopy applications."
