Application Configurations

Frequently Asked Questions

What industries and applications can use minispec mq20 analyzers?

The mq20 supports routine QC and R&D applications across food, agriculture, polymers, pharmaceuticals, and materials research. Application-specific configurations are available for measurements including solid fat content, oil and moisture, droplet-size distribution, relaxation, and diffusion.

How long does a measurement take?

Measurement time depends on the application and method. For example, the minispec oil and moisture workflow for seeds can complete an analysis in less than one minute. Contact Rotunda Scientific Technologies to discuss expected measurement times for your specific application.

Does TD-NMR require solvents or extensive sample preparation?

No. TD-NMR can significantly reduce sample-preparation requirements compared with many traditional analytical methods. For applications such as seed analysis, whole samples can be measured without grinding.

Can one mq20 be used for multiple applications?

Yes, the mq20 supports tool-free, interchangeable probes and application-specific configurations, allowing the system to be adapted for different TD-NMR measurements.

What maintenance and support functions are available?

The mq20 includes remote-diagnostic and firmware-update capabilities. Its probes can also be removed without tools.
