Contract Laboratory

In a contract laboratory environment—where turnaround times are tight, sample loads are high, and multiple client programs run side-by-side—consistency is everything. Phoenix is offered in two purpose-built configurations to match different workflows: a Top Window system optimized for controlled, repeatable sample presentation, and an Autosampler system engineered for unattended, high-throughput operation.

​

While each configuration is distinct, both are designed around the same core requirement for contract labs: precise, repeatable measurements that support consistent results across operators, shifts, and long run sequences.

​

Whether a lab prioritizes hands-on flexibility with the Top Window configuration or maximum throughput with the Autosampler, Phoenix helps reduce variability and improve repeatability—minimizing reruns and strengthening confidence in reported results for every client sample.

Continuity - Transfer Your Existing Database

​

Transfer your legacy databases and calibrations from other NIR brands. Acting as a bridge between platforms, Continuity™ protects the time, money, and expertise your company has invested in developing NIR calibrations over the years.

​

Standardization - Fit Into Existing Partner Networks

​

Standardizing the instrument configuration at installation ensures it aligns with our partners’ calibration provider network requirements. That enables immediate onboarding into their calibration schedules and reporting systems, reducing setup friction and keeping compliance consistent across sites.

​

Flexible Data Handling Options

​​

Streamlined data handling makes it easy to export spectra for review and archiving, while LIMS integration reduces manual transcription and keeps sample records synchronized end-to-end. Flexible outputs—Excel for quick analysis/reporting and MODBUS for direct PLC/SCADA connectivity—let the same instrument data plug cleanly into both lab and production workflows.

Improve Throughput with Phoenix Gold Autosampler

​​​

Adding the 30- or 50-cup autosampler extension increases unattended run capacity, reducing swap/queue interruptions and boosting overall throughput per shift. With fewer manual reloads and less operator time spent on routine handling, the same team can redirect effort to higher-value tasks—method development, troubleshooting, and parallel project work—without slowing sample flow.

​

​Integrate RFID Into Autosampler 

​

At the sample intake stage, the barcode scanner captures the sample ID/sample type and automatically writes that onto an RFID tag. This links the physical sample to its digital record immediately, reducing manual entry and preventing mix-ups as the sample moves downstream.​​​​
