Ocean Optics SteadiQ temperature control accessory

SteadiQ is an accessory for Ocean Optics field-portable spectrometers. It is claimed to neutralise temperature conditions so spectrometer measurements can be more accurate.

The SteadiQ provides a temperature-controlled atmosphere, helping to stabilise temperature effects and eliminate temperature drift in inclement conditions or extreme temperatures from -20 to 50°C. The rugged, portable device assures more accurate, reliable results in field applications including solar irradiance, volcanic observation, greenhouse monitoring and industrial environments such as cold food storage.

Available in both UV (200-1100 nm) and vis-NIR (400-2500 nm) versions, the SteadiQ interfaces directly with Ocean Optics’ USB2000+, USB4000, HR2000+, HR4000, Maya2000, Maya2000 Pro, QE65000 and NIRQuest spectrometers. In extreme hot or extreme cold conditions, the unit operates independently from outside temperatures. It connects easily to the spectrometer with preconfigured plug-ins and communicates via the spectrometer’s USB port.
