The NIRFlex Solids is the ideal configuration to measure solid samples like powders, pastes and
pellets in diffuse reflection mode. The measuring cell for solids allows the use of different add-ons for
specific sample containers.
The software automatically detects the type of add-on in use as soon as the corresponding applica-
tion is started in the NIRWare Operator.
For a description of the add-ons to be used with the NIRFlex Solids, see section 4.6.3 to 4.6.8.
