(HT-NIR Analyzer)

The MRX N1 is a High-Throughput Near-Infrared (HT-NIR) Analyzer designed for rapid, non-destructive sample analysis.
Equipped with 96-well plate compatibility and advanced chemometric modeling, it supports high-throughput screening and reliable quantitative prediction within a single platform.

Overview – MRX N1

The MRX N1 is a High-Throughput Near-Infrared (HT-NIR) Analyzer designed for rapid, non-destructive analysis of large sample sets.

Combining 96-well plate compatibility with advanced chemometric modeling, it enables reliable quantitative prediction across a wide range of applications.

By complementing or replacing conventional HPLC workflows, the MRX N1 helps improve laboratory productivity, shorten QC turnaround times, and reduce analytical costs.

Technology

Optimized optical Design for Well-Plate measurements:

Before optimization:
Signal variation caused by the meniscus effect
After optimization:
Improved reproducibility and stabilized spectra

In well-plate measurements, meniscus formation can introduce optical path variations that affect spectral stability and measurement reproducibility. To minimize these effects, the MRX N1 incorporates an optimized optical design with carefully controlled illumination and signal collection geometry, ensuring stable spectra, improved reproducibility, and reliable quantitative results across all wells.

Chemometrics-Based Quantification:

NIR Data
Validation (Chemometrics)

Unlike UV-Vis analysis, NIR spectra contain broad and overlapping absorption bands that cannot be interpreted using a single wavelength. By combining full-spectrum NIR data with advanced chemometric models such as PLS and OPLS, the MRX N1 enables accurate quantitative prediction and strong correlation with reference methods, even for complex sample matrices.

Integrated Modeling Workflow:

MRX N1 provides a complete chemometric modeling environment covering data preprocessing, model development, validation, and performance evaluation within a single platform. Built-in tools such as normalization, smoothing, derivative transformations, PLS, and OPLS analysis support the development of robust prediction models, while validation and statistical evaluation tools help ensure model reliability and long-term performance.
