Anton Paar has released new Flow Cell Modules for its Lyza 7000 FTIR spectrometer, enabling automated liquid analysis. These modules are now available for industrial and laboratory use.
Why it matters
The introduction of automated flow-through systems replaces traditional manual liquid-cell handling, significantly increasing sample throughput for chemical analysis. This shift standardizes data acquisition for liquid-based samples across production and research environments.
The new hardware supports a selectable temperature range from 15°C to 40°C for consistent sample analysis. It features multiple cell configurations, including ZnSe and CaF2 transmission cells alongside ZnSe and Germanium V-ATR cells.
The players
Anton Paar
An Austrian manufacturer of high-end analytical instruments specializing in laboratory equipment for density, concentration, and CO2 measurement.
The details
The Flow Cell Modules operate by creating a continuous, temperature-controlled liquid path that automates measurements, bypassing the manual handling typical of standard liquid cells. By integrating these modules with Xsample 3200 or 5200 sample changers, laboratories can automate the fluid input process. The system also supports custom quantification method validation and includes pre-configured applications for measuring sugar content, taurine in energy drinks, and FAME (Fatty Acid Methyl Esters) in diesel.

The Tech Race
This release positions Anton Paar's Lyza 7000 platform to better compete in high-throughput testing environments where manual sample preparation is a performance bottleneck. It moves the instrument from a general-purpose spectroscopy tool toward an automated, application-specific analytical system.
Laboratory technicians can now utilize automated, temperature-controlled workflows for liquid analysis tasks that previously required manual oversight. These modules are designed for immediate implementation for existing users of the Lyza 7000 system.
The takeaway
The move toward automation in FTIR spectroscopy represents a broader industry shift toward minimizing human error in repetitive chemical quantification. Labs should evaluate their current sample volume to determine if the transition from manual liquid cells to this automated flow-through setup justifies the hardware investment.
