The latest addition to our CompactLine: the AvaSpec-Mini-NIR!

Like our other CompactLine spectrometers, this device is only the size of a deck of cards and USB powered, which makes it easy to integrate into other devices and handheld applications. Since the AvaSpec-Mini-NIR has no moving parts it is very robust and can be used virtually any environment!

The AvaSpec-Mini-NIR is a compact near-infrared spectrometer, based on a combination of our popular AvaSpec-NIR256-1.7-EVO and Mini-series.

Of course, the AvaSpec-Mini-NIR works seamlessly with our AvaSoft software and the Windows and Linux libraries we have available.

If size is not the most important factor for your application, we recommend the AvaSpec-Mini-NIR’s bigger brother, the AvaSpec-NIR256-1.7-EVO that is bigger in size but offers slightly higher sensitivity levels.
