About J&M
Since the foundation in 1987, J&M Analytik AG has offered innovative solutions and analytical systems for both laboratory and process analytics. J&M has gained a reputation in the field of fiber-optic measuring systems in the area of UV/VIS and NIR spectroscopy. The TIDAS® series of spectrometers are used with suitable accessories such as tailored measuring cells and fiber- optic probes in the chemical, pharmaceutical and food industry. In 2016 J&M Analytik AG joined THE PHARMA TEST GROUP as its third member company. This new partnership will enable J&M to better deliver our innovative solutions through the strong sales network of Pharma Test on a global scale.
Typical applications are the monitoring of cleaning, drying, and mixing processes as well as the determination of concentration of ingredients like fat and protein content in milk. Innovative products are constantly developed by working closely with both customers and partners. Our new developments in the area of networked, miniaturized fiber-optic probes based on LED technology will further advance the integration of spectroscopic analytics in the mass market.
J&M has Three Main Product Lines
- TIDAS® Lab: laboratory and educational spectrometer instruments
- TIDAS® Process: process analyzers for the pharmaceutical, chemical, food agriculture and environmental industry
- TIDAS® OEM: OEM components for optical spectroscopy like detectors, light sources and multiplexers
The J&M TIDAS® spectrometers are fiber-optic diode-array spectrometer systems and instruments for lab and process applications. They are based on UV/VIS, NIR, Raman and LIF technology. The instruments are run by the internally developed TIDASDAQ3 software for instrument control, data visualization and evaluation. Additionally J&M offers a broad selection of accessories and process interfaces, both contact and non-contact. This flexibility is due to the use of fiber-optics in all of the J&M instruments.
J&M Products and Technology can be Used for Many Applications, such as
- Blend and Drying Monitoring
- Cleaning Monitoring and Validation
- Coating and Particle Size Monitoring
- Hygiene Monitoring
- Moisture Measurement
- Raw Material Identification
- Reaction Monitoring
Keep on Innovating
We continually strive towards developing new innovative applications and revealing new application possibilities. Demonstrated by the quantity and diversity of our applications, we are sure we can provide customized, flexible, and relevant successful solutions.
