Detailed Review:
Measures have been conducted on fine salt and on flour with different conditions of illumination of the test setup to verify measurements output and repeatability.
Fine salt was placed at 10 mm from the sample window. Three absorbance graph are reported with the method setup used.
In test 1 absorbance values where not reliable because almost always above value 1 of absorbance. This behavior was noticed in many other tests not reported in this review.
Tests on flour where conducted with different conditions of illumination of the test setup. Same method was used. Absorbance values where not reliable. Flour was placed at 20 mm from the sample window.
Other tests where conducted using flour to verify how the distance from the sample and the window was affecting the absorbance measurement output. For the next three graphs the configuration method was the same as the one applied for tests on fine salt. The next two reported measurements where conducted placing the sample at 10 mm of distance from the window, instead of 20 mm as in the previous tests with flour.
From this last two tests we have been able to see how the sample – window distance affects the asborbance measurement output.
More Tests will be conducted on other chemical compounds, especially coming from foods to investigate about measurements reliability.
Problems where encoutered using the GUI because of bad alignment of sections and buttons that limited the interactions for configuring the NIR Scan Nano.
