Guided Wave’s Model 412 Process analyzer has been out of production since October of 2017. This includes ALL Model 412 Process and Lab analyzers. Guided Wave will continue to offer repair services in our factory for the Model 412 as possible. The available parts and repair status are listed below:
- Lamps will continue to be available in the foreseeable future.
- Filters for the filter wheel will be available in the foreseeable future.
- Factory REPAIRS are still possible on many M412 components. This includes ECMs PCAs, Input Modules and Grating assemblies.
- No other NEW parts are available.
Lead time is estimated to be > 20 weeks for these out of production parts.

In 2016, with advances in technology and our pioneering experience in the spectroscopic analysis industry, the M412 was replaced by NIR-O. NIR-O provides better performance, advanced operations, and improved ROI. The NIR-O process analyzer is a direct replacement for the Model 412 and can be used with existing probes and fibers.
Cost Reducing Considerations for Upgrading to NIR-O
Compared to new system installations, substantial savings can be realized by either retrofitting the M412 or purchasing a complete NIR-O analyzer system. There are 5 top cost-saving justifications to include in your project proposal. These include:
- Ability to reuse existing probes and fibers
- Transferability of current chemometric calibrations
- The NIR-O requires 90 Watts less power than the M412
- OmniView software provides enhanced support for modern security protocols
- Improved User Interface, embedded touchscreen, and FREE software training videos – reduce learning curve for users
- Convenient spare parts service plan – Wave Care
