In 2015, based on the highly acclaimed USB series, Ocean Optics launched the Flame series spectrometers. Flame inherits the compact and rugged housing of the USB series, substantially improves the internal design, and integrates an automated production process. Building on the USB series, Flame improves thermal stability and unit-to-unit consistency and enhances the user experience in many ways, leading products of the same class. The Flame-NIR miniature near-infrared spectrometer combines convenience, compact size and high cost-effectiveness. Flame-NIR uses a high-performance, small-volume optical platform and an uncooled InGaAs linear array detector, with a spectral range covering up to 900 nm-1700 nm, making it an ideal choice for the food industry and the biopharmaceutical and formulation industries.
