AvaSpec CompactLine Spectrometers

UV-NIR; 200-1750 nm; Resolution 0.05-50.0 nm; Sensitivity 38,000-665,000 Counts/µW per ms Integration Time; CMOS or InGaAs Array Detector; Interface USB 2.0; 95x68x20 mm

Miniature spectroscopy redefined – that's what Avantes considers the CompactLine series spectrometers. The new generation, Avantes’ AvaSpec-Mini MK-II series (AvaSpec-Mini2048CL and AvaSpec-Mini4096CL) is definitely one of the smallest types of spectrometers on the market today.

In cases where size matters, the AvaSpec CompactLine family offers spectrometers with the smallest form factor – only the size of a deck of cards. This enables easier integration of Avantes’ spectrometers into machines and handheld devices.

Squeezing down the size hardly compromises the performance of the instruments but limits the customer a bit in the number of possible configurations. This instrument with excellent temperature and wavelength stability is easy to take anywhere you like and very well suited for handheld applications.

The AvaSpec-Mini-CL series with CMOS detectors and advanced electronics and communications can be equipped with a 2048-pixel CMOS detector (AvaSpec-Mini2048CL) or Avantes’ first-to-the-market 4096-pixel array (AvaSpec-Mini4096CL). And the AvaSpec-Mini-NIR is a compact near-infrared spectrometer with InGaAs detector, based on Avantes’ popular AvaSpec-NIR256-1.7-EVO NIRLine series spectrometer.

Enjoy the speed and enhanced native UV/NIR response of CMOS with an incredible resolution of up to 0.09 nm unavailable anywhere else. The low stray light design allows stray light levels from as low as 0.2% and the fast response time boasts data transfer speeds as fast as 4.6 ms/scan and integration times ranging from 30 to 50 s.

Customization is possible when adequate volumes are needed. This makes the CompactLine especially suited for OEM users wanting to integrate a spectrometer into their own devices.
