Customized AOTF-NIR Spectrometers
Brimrose is capable to design and manufacture products that are solutions to problems that no other company wants to tackle. As a result, Brimrose has custom-built many different models of spectrometers that would meet the needs of individual applications of our customers.
AOTF TECHNOLOGY
The Brimrose Acousto-Optic Tunable Filter (AOTF) technology is a core component in the Brimrose AOTF-NIR Spectrometer and is well suited to most applications in the laboratory, at-line, and especially in-line.

BUILT FOR PURPOSE
Luminar 3076 AOTF-NIR Spectrometer
The Brimrose Luminar 3076 SeedMeister AOTF-NIR Analyzer is a system specifically developed for non-destructive analyzing and sorting 100% of seeds.
Properties – oil, protein, moisture, starch, oleic, linoleic, sugar, etc.
Major Hybrid Seeds – corn, soybeans, coffee, watermelon, peanuts, sunflower and much more.
One of our customers was able to salvage an entire year’s worth of seeds. The Seedmeister was used initially to help identify and sort watermelon seeds that would breed seedless watermelons.
Luminar 3070 AOTF-NIR Spectrometer
When thinking of AOTF-NIR advantages, most typically think of in-line or at-line advantages. However, the Luminar 3070 Benchtop Analyzer also has advantages because it is an AOTFNIR instrument, namely:
Dry Measurements – reflectance with a rotating dish for powders and granules with almost zero preparation. Single tablets in reflectance are possible. Speed is 5 to 8 seconds per sample.
Liquid Measurements – flow cell with pouring the sample into a funnel, allowing good representation of large sample volume, enabling less homogeneous liquids. Speed is 5 to 8 seconds per sample.
Transmission Arm with Detector – for single tablets in transmission. Also, seeds in transmission.
Immunity to Ambient Light – no need to shield the sample, making it easier to operate.
Luminar 4020 AOTF-NIR Spectrometer
The Luminar 4020 AOTF-NIR Thin-Film Analyzer was designed to measure multiple layers of thin films individually and to eliminate the need to measure thickness of substrate for accurate coating weight. Coating weight of adhesive and residual solvent are routinely measured with this high-speed on-line analyzer, which can either be mounted on a traveler and scan across the web or measures statically.
Luminar 4090 AOTF-NIR Spectrometer
Brimrose is proud to introduce the Luminar 4090. This new AOTF-NIR spectrometer is non-destructive, rapid test device for determining BU, designed to easily mount to blenders and to allow customers to move the unit from blender to blender. The technique has been proven to prevent over or under blending, providing manufacturers with total control over the process.
Proper blending is vital to assure batch uniformity and the integrity of drug products. It is important that the Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API), excipients, and lubricants in each batch are uniform and homogeneous. A batch that is not fully blended can affect bio-availability in the end product and potentially harm the consumer.
