Figure 5: Users are able to identify the contents of containers without opening them. New spectroscopy products available following company relocation
Following its relocation to a new headquarters west of Stuttgart, Maassen GmbH has expanded its product portfolio, enhancing manufacturing and distribution capabilities. The new facility enables increased production of proprietary and additional products, supporting a broader range of customer needs.
Press production continues, with ongoing expansion of available press tool diameters. The company also offers hard metal (KXF tungsten carbide/cobalt mixture) press plates in various sizes.
In addition to its existing range of products for ICP-OES, ICP-MS, AAS, and UV-VIS spectrometers from renowned manufacturers such as GlassExpansion and Burgener Research, Maassen GmbH has partnered with MeiHui Technology Japan / UVTech to supply high-quality light source modules. This includes deuterium lamps from Hamamatsu Photonics, socketed by MeiHui Technology for spectrometers from leading manufacturers. These light sources will be stocked in Europe in the coming months.
With this expansion, Maassen GmbH can now provide light sources for a wider range of spectrometers and HPLC systems. Customer testing has confirmed fitting accuracy and compatibility with various manufacturers’ equipment, while Hamamatsu Photonics’ long-life lamps have demonstrated consistent quality over the years.
A website relaunch is in progress, but inquiries about new products can be made via email. More information online:

63766pr@reply-direct.com Mobile mass spectrometry system for residual gas analysis
Pfeiffer Vacuum+Fab Solutions, part of the Busch Group, has unveiled the HiCube Neo RGA - a fully integrated, mobile system for residual gas analysis that pairs vacuum pumping with high-sensitivity mass spectrometry.
At the heart of the system is the fusion of a HiCube Neo turbomolecular pump with the PrismaPro mass spectrometer, providing real-time gas composition analysis across a wide pressure spectrum - from atmospheric conditions down to high vacuum. Designed for use in environments such as coating systems, vacuum processing, and materials R&D, the HiCube Neo RGA supports both quality control and fault diagnostics.
Engineered with reliability in mind, the unit includes automatic filament shutdown when pressures exceed safe thresholds, protecting components and prolonging service intervals. Additional safety and contamination-control options include a built-in shut-off valve and recipient heater to desorb background gases that might skew results.
Aimed at ease of use and integration, the HiCube Neo RGA offers multiple I/O channels for sensor integration, a touchscreen interface, and PV MassSpec software for streamlined data access. The plug-and-play system is also available with a trolley mount, enabling quick relocation between test sites without disassembly.
Ideal for labs requiring flexible, high-precision gas monitoring, the HiCube Neo RGA represents a versatile tool for modern vacuum applications. More information online:

64996pr@reply-direct.com High-speed, compact FT-NIR spectrometer with Ethernet connectivity
Hamamatsu Photonics has unveiled the C16511-01, a powerful new addition to its spectrometer range. This compact FT-NIR spectrometer engine is currently the smallest of its kind on the market and is capable of capturing up to 275 spectra per second - delivering the speed and sensitivity needed for demanding industrial and research environments.
FT-NIR (Fourier Transform Near Infrared) spectroscopy is widely used in sectors such as pharmaceuticals, food production, agriculture, and chemical processing, where accurate and rapid analysis is essential for quality control and process monitoring. The C16511-01 is designed to make these high-performance capabilities more accessible, offering reliable spectral resolution and excellent light throughput in a highly integrated and cost-effective solution.
A key advantage of the C16511-01 is its spectral performance. Covering a response range from 1100 nm to 2500 nm, the device supports rapid spectral acquisition at speeds suitable for real-time process analytics. Its precision is underpinned by a built-in semiconductor laser, ensuring high wavelength accuracy across measurements.
Despite its impressive capabilities, the unit remains compact - measuring just 68 × 124 × 66 mm - making it easy to embed within existing OEM systems or portable instruments. The spectrometer supports diffuse reflection and transmittance modes, allowing users to analyse solids, liquids, or powders.
Connectivity is another standout feature. The Ethernet interface ensures straightforward integration with both Windows and Linux environments. Supplied evaluation software enables users to set measurement conditions, acquire and view data, while DLL specifications are openly provided for developing custom software applications.
This next-generation FT-NIR spectrometer is expected to be widely adopted across both industry and academia. Its speed and resolution make it particularly well suited for applications such as process analytical technology, material inspection and sorting, farm produce grading, pharmaceutical quality control, and plastic recycling operations.
