The Multi-Purpose Analyzer (MPA) is a Fourier-transform InfraRed (FTIR) Spectrometer that operates in the Near Infra-Red (NIR) wavebands region. The method in use is the SphereMacrosample. It has the Sample Compartment Unit that operates on the Transmission mode and the Integrating Sphere Window that operates on the diffuse Reflectance mode. The Integrating Sphere has different accessories i.e. the rotating arm that rotates the cup or wide Petri dish on the sphere window and a fixed vial mount that mounts the vial on the sphere window.
