Appendix 3: Instrument Performance 

Validation Kits 

The Frontier FT-NIR is supplied with the NIR Performance Validation Kit (L1250405), which 

contains a polystyrene reference sample. 

For the Frontier FT-IR, the MIR Performance Validation Kit (L1250404) is available. This kit 

contains a polystyrene reference sample and an NG11 Schott Glass reference sample.  

Macros are supplied with Spectrum software (version 10 or later) that can be used with the 

Performance Validation kits to produce a report certifying your instrument.
