The award winning mq series covers a wide range of applications and offers expansion capabilities for both routine QC and R&D. The mq-one is not just a bench-top system, it is a dedicated, off-theshelf, complete solution for your quality control applications. With easy installation, comprehensive calibration and calibration transfer standards, the mq-one is ready to use in minutes, while the multilingual minispec Plus software guarantees an intuitive and traceable workflow. TD-NMR: The Method of Choice The mq-one utilizes Time-Domain Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (TD-NMR) spectroscopy, technically similar to the FT-NMR and MRI technologies. NMR signals are generated from the whole sample, not just the surface. The TD-NMR technique does not require any solvents and with minimal sample preparation you can start your nondestructive analysis, which typically takes only few seconds. TD-NMR

World-wide accepted Calibration and Calibration Transfer standards for various applications Ready-to-go The minispec mq-one analyzers come complete, ready-to-install, with calibration standards and traceable multi-language software. The installation instructions can not get easier than this: place your mq-one on the lab bench, connect only two cables: the Ethernet cable to your PC and the power cord, switch it on and following warm-up your mq-one is operational. Better for Your Laboratory Nowadays, laboratory space is a premium. The minispec mq-one has a smaller footprint compared to its previous model, therefore will not take a lot of your valuable laboratory bench space. Moreover, the mq-one is a quiet runner: with no external fans and less than 40 db(a) of acoustic noise during operation, it will help keep your laboratory a quiet place to work. Performance You Can Rely On Precise and long-term stable results can only be obtained with an optimal system layout. The mq-one with its all-in-one design perfectly matches these requirements. Both long-term and short-term measurement stabilities for the application of interest have been improved further. The system s internal temperature is kept at a constant higher than room Sample preparation and precise measurement with the mq one made easy With the minispec Plus software, daily routine work is easier, reliable and traceable temperature (typically but not limited to 40 C) to within a 1/100 of a degree Celsius to guarantee optimal performance in 24/7 operation. Plug-and-play NMR Probes As a part of the minispec mq series, the mq-one offers Bruker s proven plug-and-play NMR probe concept with automatic probe recognition. Easy, tool-free exchange for cleaning becomes a matter of seconds. minispec Plus Software Since the introduction of the mq-series, the requirements for today s industrial Quality Control (QC) have evolved. In order to provide solutions for today s challenges, Bruker now offers the 21 CFR part 11 compliant minispec Plus software for the mq-one analyzers. The minispec Plus combines multilingual support, user administration, ease of use and an intuitive work-flow for both calibration and daily measurements. mq one Spin Finish Analyzer Precise Spin Finish determination on man-made fibers Weightless and weighing methods Calibration Transfer & Validation samples mq one SFC Analyzer Solid Fat Content on fat compositions and chocolate Bruker s unique SFC calibration sample set All international methods supported mq one Hydrogen Analyzer QC method for jet and aviation fuels Handy calibration using regular chemicals ASTM methods supported mq one Seed and Seed XL Analyzer Precise oil and moisture determination in seeds, nuts and residues Certified oil and moisture standard set International methods supported mq one Total Fat Analyzer Precise determination of fat/oil and moisture in food & feed Straightforward calibration Tailored EasyFill TM plastic sample tubes Replaces wet chemistry mq one Polymer Analyzer Precise Xylene-soluble content determination Density of Polyethylene determination made easy Handy calibration with reference samples Replaces wet chemistry Bruker BioSpin is ISO 9001 certified.

3 Food & Feed Industry Fast and Reliable Quality Control by Time Domain NMR Innovation with Integrity TD-NMR

4 Solutions for the Food & Feed Industries QA / QC and Research with Ease To determine the essential properties of food and feed, Bruker developed a powerful device for fast and reliable answers throughout all production and processing steps: the minispec based on Time Domain (TD)-NMR. This method is well recognized due to its time saving qualities and simplicity of operation. No chemicals and consumables are required. Moreover, a large variety of food can be analyzed with minimal sample preparation. TD-NMR is an inherently quantitative method, insensitive to matrix effects that occur in many complex foods and food intermediates. TD-NMR provides clear advantages over wet-chemical and other spectroscopic methods. It has been adapted in various AOCS, ISO, and IUPAC standard methods as well. Bruker started its development in close partnership with major food companies in the 1970 s and continues to innovate to this day. Our strong commitment to the food and feed industries has led to many dedicated applications. The most notable is the Solid Fat Content determination (SFC) in fat compositions. The Range of Applications International standard applications Solid Fat Content (SFC) Determination ISO 8292 AOCS Cd 16b-93; AOCS Cd IUPAC Oil & Moisture Determination in Seeds and Residues ISO 10565; ISO AOCS Ak4-95 USDA GIPSA approved Key applications Droplet Size Distribution of Oil in Water / Water in Oil Emulsions Total Fat Content in Chocolate Further applications Total Fat and Moisture Content in in Chips in Milk Powder in Food Snacks Flavor / Oil Content Determination Oil and Moisture Determination (> 10 % moisture content) The Key Advantages Fast and accurate The measurement takes typically less than one minute. Minimal sample preparation and high accuracy (e.g % for total fat determination) make the minispec analysis the method of choice for Quality Control (QC) in the food industry. Reproducible & non-destructive The repeatability and reproducibility of the minispec analysis are significantly better compared to wetchemical methods. The measurement is non-invasive, non-destructive and allows heterogeneous samples to be analyzed without grinding or homogenization. Safe & simple Raw materials and foodstuffs are measured without grinding, cutting, or any other sample preparation. No chemicals such as solvents are required. Compact and robust The small footprint of the minispec unit allows flexible placement anywhere in the production facility. No dedicated supplies or consumables are required. 2

5 Application Examples Oil & Moisture Determination in Seeds and Residues This method is the international standard to measure the oil and moisture content in seeds and seed residues. The oil content determines the value of the crop and thus, it is of utmost importance to farmers and oil mills. The moisture influences the shelf life and is therefore controlled frequently. Droplet Size Distribution of Water in Oil and Oil in Water Emulsions With the minispec NMR method, the droplet size distribution in water in oil emulsions such as margarine or mayonnaise are measured conveniently and noninvasively. For example, this is an important parameter since the water content and droplet size distribution influence shelf life, taste, and oral sensation. Solid Fat Content (SFC) Determination This international standard method is used to measure the melting profile of fat composition. It is important to characterize it in detail to ensure proper performance of many final customer products, such as margarine or chocolate. Total Fat Content in Chocolates The total fat content in chocolate can be measured quickly and conveniently without the need for any chemicals or sample preparation. The method can be applied to chocolate liquors, intermediate products and final chocolate products, too. Oil and Moisture Determination (>10 % moisture) For foodstuffs like meat with moisture contents exceeding 10 %, a TD-NMR application is available that uses a chemo-metric data analysis to determine the fat content of the sample. This way, time-consuming predrying of the sample can be avoided. Total Fat and Moisture Content in Food Snacks The minispec provides an easy analysis of fat and moisture content (moisture <10 %) in a wide range of foods such as chips, crisps, pretzels, etc. Total Fat and Moisture in Milk and Cacao Powder In these economically important foodstuffs, the fat and moisture content is routinely measured with Bruker s minispec in QC. Total Fat Content in Feeds The total fat content of pet food can be determined in a rapid and easy manner; for example with dog and cat food. 3
