This Application Note shows the transfer of near-infrared spectroscopy analysis methods from the FOSS NIRSystems System II (5000/6500) Analyzer to the Metrohm NIRS XDS und DS2500 Analyzers. In addition, the advantages of the new NIRS XDS and DS2500 analyzers with extended spectral range and improved resolution are displayed, in particular with respect to the FOSS NIRSystems System II analyzer.
