Measure faster. Work smarter.

Designed for simplicity, TANGO II empowers every user to perform measurements with confidence. Its intuitive interface, available on the optional high-performance Touch Tablet PC or any standard computer, supports 17 languages and enables users of all skill levels to perform measurements with ease.

Proven FT-NIR technology by Bruker with an optional easy-to-use touch screen operation and a small footprint, perfect for those laboratories with limited space.

Logical: Sample handling the easy way.

Designed for operational efficiency, TANGO II cuts down on the need for sample preparation. Measurements are performed directly through glass containers. No chemicals or reagents involved, ensuring consistent results with minimal effort.

Practical: Designed for efficiency. 

TANGO II simplifies routine tasks with a rugged, easy-to-clean design. The light source and the desiccant cartridge can be exchanged in seconds, supporting uninterrupted workflows in demanding lab and at-line environments.

Low Impact: Engineered for sustainability.

Consuming typically just 40 W, the TANGO II helps reduce power usage in daily lab routines. The system requires no solvents, or gases, eliminating chemical waste and improving workplace safety. Combined with reliable quality control that minimizes production waste, it can contribute to more sustainable and responsible laboratory practices.

The Specialist at Your Side.

Select the TANGO II you need:

  • The TANGO II Reflection analyzer for solids. 
  • The TANGO II Transmission analyzer for liquids.
  • With or without Touch Tablet PC.

Reflection measurements: Efficient analysis of solids.

The TANGO II Reflection dedicated for solid and semi-solid samples is equipped with a gold-coated integrating sphere for diffuse reflection measurements. This setup delivers highly reproducible results, even for inhomogeneous samples. The measurement spot is approximately 10 mm in diameter and using sample rotators, the measured area is enlarged, allowing for a more representative analysis of heterogeneous samples.

Transmission measurements: Highest precision for liquids. 

The TANGO II Transmission for liquid analysis features a built-in active sample heater/cooler as standard. Sample temperatures can be precisely set between +20 °C and +80 °C. A dedicated sensor continuously monitors the vial temperature, enabling a precise control and ensuring quick, reliable results.

Typical application fields include:

  • Food and beverage industry
  • Feed manufacturing
  • Pharma and biotechnology
  • Chemical and petrochemical industry
  • Polymer industry

For markets with standardized products TANGO II offers complete solutions with pre-calibrated systems. For the food and feed industry, ready-to-use application packages are available. Please contact our NIR experts for further information.

Why FT-NIR Sperctroscopy? 

Most spectroscopic techniques are fast and accurate compared to wet chemistry, but FT-NIR spectroscopy has some other advantages which makes is very useful for routine analysis in QC labs and in process control. FT-NIR can help you to streamline the analysis routines in the lab and online. It is often able to analyze many different parameters with just one measurement and without any sample preparation saving labour and money.
