FTIR, NIR and Raman spectrometers are very common in a majority of R&D facilities. Spectrometers are used to for a number of applications that include identification of bulk materials, checking contamination, ensuring intermediates are processing as expected and for confirming that the final product is within the required specifications.
However, most of these spectrometers are confined to the lab as they are large but not portable. Thus, it would take at least two days for a sample to be sent to the lab, get processed and reports to be presented. With the introduction of the wireless handheld spectrometers the results can now be available almost instantly on a smart phone. A number of companies such as Phison Group (UPRtek), Carl Zeiss and Thermo Fisher Scientific offer a number of such wireless handheld spectrometers.
The need for quick results and potable systems is increasing the demand for wireless handheld spectrometer. For instance, the requirement of small handheld device that can scan substances and highlight the chemical composition in raw materials in the pharmaceutical and life science industry.
This will reduce the considerable amount of time required for testing of theses substance in the lab. Significant technological advancements enable the development of low-cost devices. One of the major drawbacks of these devices is the limited range of test and sensitivity that may hinder the market growth to some extent.
For all testing such as environmental testing, food testing, forensic testing, chemical analysis, and others, mass spectrometry is the best tool available. However, these devices are large and confined to the lab and thus may take a long time for the results to be available. BaySpec offers one such device called the Portability Transportable Mass Spectrometer. The device is small enough to be used in the field and yet offer ppb-level detection. MIT further has planned to develop a mass spectrometer of the size of a smart phone. Miniaturizing the mass spectrometer has a very large potential and will aid the market growth of the wireless handheld spectrometers.
The applications of wireless handheld spectrometers is the most widely spoken of in the field of food and agriculture. Food hazards can’t be detected by naked eyes, but require a number of tests. However, with the introduction of wireless handheld spectrometers we can now test food in a non-destructive manner. Food and beverages can now be scanned for impurities and other dangerous and unwanted elements. The wide application and advancement in technology in the field gives wireless handheld spectrometer a strong growth potential.
North America is a region saturated with technology that finds wider applications every day. The adoption of wireless handheld spectroscopy devices is high in the region due to the technology advancement. North America also has a significant investment in R&D that further drives the growth of the market in the region. Furthermore, with growing research potential in the European and the Asia Pacific regions the adoption and growth of the wireless hand held spectrometer market will continue to grow in the near future.
