Frequently Asked Questions
- Do I need a chemistry degree to understand NIR?
- No. NIR spectroscopy works with light-matter interactions and mathematics (PLS regression), not complex organic chemistry. If you passed high school physics and algebra, you can learn NIR. The SpectroScience course is designed for lab technicians, qu...
- How long does it take to go from zero to NIR competence?
- The SpectroScience course is 32 lessons across 8 weeks — roughly 8–10 hours of instruction. You'll understand how NIR works, how to build a calibration, how to validate it, and how to troubleshoot common problems. This is sufficient to operate an ins...
- What is the difference between vendor training and independent NIR training?
- Vendor training teaches you their instrument — buttons, software, how to run a test. Independent training like SpectroScience teaches you NIR principles that apply to any brand. Vendor training costs $1,500–$3,000 and is usually 1–2 days. Independent...
