MATRIX-MF FT-IR Process Reaction Monitoring

The MATRIX-MF FT-IR Spectrometer from Bruker is a compact and robust instrument designed for real-time monitoring of chemical and biological reactions across laboratory and industrial settings. Exploiting the rich mid-infrared (mid-IR) spectral range, it can be fiber-optically coupled for in-situ measurements, enabling precise reaction tracking without interrupting processes. Its versatility makes it a vital tool for optimizing reaction efficiency and control.

 

What you need to know about MATRIX-MF FT-IR Process Reaction Monitoring?

Core Capabilities

Part of Bruker’s trusted MATRIX series, the MATRIX-MF is built for durability and consistent performance. A sealed optical compartment protects sensitive components from moisture and harsh industrial conditions. Its RockSolid™ interferometer, combined with DigiTect™ detector electronics, ensures high-quality, stable spectra even under challenging operational environments. Despite its rugged construction, its compact design allows easy installation in labs or mobile stations.

Flexible Fiber-Optic Probes

The MATRIX-MF supports a variety of infrared fiber-optic ATR probes, enabling real-time, in-situ analysis of liquids, slurries, emulsions, and reactive mixtures. Measurements can be taken directly without interrupting the process.

Available Probe Options:

  • IN350-T: Diamond ATR probe (6 mm), ATEX certified

  • IN351: Diamond Micro ATR probe (3.17 mm)

  • IN355: Diamond ATR probe (6.3 mm)

  • IN356-EX: Diamond ATR probe (12 mm), ATEX certified

  • Other ATR Crystals: Silicon and specialized variants for unique chemical conditions

Seamless Industrial Integration

Engineered for modern industrial environments, the MATRIX-MF easily integrates into process control systems. Its compact rack-mount design and support for multiple protocols make it suitable for both controlled lab setups and industrial installations.

Integration Protocols:

  • 4–20 mA signals

  • OPC (OLE for Process Control)

  • Modbus communication

  • Profibus DP

ATEX-Certified Explosion-Proof Option

For hazardous environments, an ex-proof MATRIX-MF variant is available, meeting ATEX certification standards. It is ideal for operations in explosive atmospheres where safety and reliability are critical.

Certification Details:

  • II 2G Ex px II T4 (T6)

  • II (1) G [Ex op is T6] IIC
