Best Performance
The Phoenix 5000 delivers the best in reliability, precision, and accuracy by utilizing a scanning monochromator, the most trusted NIR tecnology for producing consistent products.
The Phoenix 5000's software utilizes color coded buttons and tabs to allow operators to learn and use the instrument easily.
Easy to Use Software
Flexible Data Handling
Operators can export results to Excel, LIMS, or modbus. Custom reports can be designed to generate COA's directly on the Phoenix 5000.
Designed for Transferability
The Phoenix 5000 has configurable wavelength resolutions of 0.5, 1 and 2 nm. This allows us to transfer customer legacy databases from other NIR instruments to the Phoenix 5000 in minutes.
Made in the USA
Every Phoenix 5000 instrument is manufactured at our company headquarters in Jessup, MD.
Reduce Sampling Error
The Phoenix 5000 employs the only sample handling system that scans more than 90% of the sample within the sample cup.
​
Other NIR systems only rotate the cup and scan less than 20% of the sample.
​
The Phoenix 5000's advanced sampling system is able to move the sample cup both laterally and rotate it, increasing the scan area to more than 90%, improving accuracty, repeatability and precision.

ROI Calculator
The Phoenix 5000 Snack Food Analyzer provides a rapid payback for snack food manufacturers.
In most instances the instrument pays for itself in 4-8 months.
​
These savings fall into three categories:
​
-
Savings on wet chemistry/lab analysis
-
Claims on ingredients
-
Optimizing production levels of moisture, oilt and seasoning
​
This form walks you through the expected cost saving from optimizing moisture in your production.
By controlling moisture throughout production and in finished product, a significant cost savings can be seen by producing a finished product that is just 1% closer to the spec'd requirement.
Similar calculations can be performed for oil and seasoning as well.
