Product Overview
The Bruker MPA III is the definitive "Multi-Purpose Analyzer," engineered to meet the comprehensive demands of modern quality assurance and complex method development. Its modular architecture allows users to transition effortlessly between liquid, solid, and semi-solid analysis by integrating multiple sampling techniques, including transmission, diffuse reflection, and fiber-optic probing into a single workstation. This flexibility eliminates the need for manual module exchanges, as sampling modes are entirely software-controlled through the validated OPUS software.
At the heart of the MPA III is the permanently aligned RockSolid™ interferometer, featuring gold-coated cube-corner mirrors and frictionless bearings that guarantee consistent, high-stability results even in vibration-prone settings. The system is built for longevity and low cost of ownership, supported by a 10-year warranty on both the moving parts of the interferometer and the solid-state laser. Whether identifying raw materials in a warehouse via fiber-optic probes or performing high-throughput tablet analysis with the automated 30-position sample wheel, the MPA III provides the precision and reliability required for critical industries such as pharmaceuticals, food and feed, and chemical manufacturing.
