FTIR Spectrometers – Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy
FTIR Spectrometers – Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy is a method for obtaining the infrared spectrum of absorption or emission from solids, liquids, or gases. An FTIR spectrometer captures high-resolution spectral data across a broad spectral range simultaneously. This offers a substantial benefit compared to a dispersive spectrometer, which only measures intensity within a limited wavelength range at any given moment.
Offering advanced, competitively priced FTIR spectrometers, these tools enable precise verification of material identity and specifications for both raw materials and finished products. The latest model, featuring an upgraded integration electronic system, is designed to maximize flexibility and stability while delivering robust performance. Enhanced with powerful software, including an optional FDA CFR 21 compliance feature, it provides a streamlined, efficient testing experience.
Key Features:
The included software database encompasses 21 specialized IR libraries, covering a comprehensive range of substances: Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients, pharmaceutical excipients, polymers, chemicals, organic reagents, various drug categories, veterinary pharmaceuticals, minerals, oils and additives, fibers, catalysts, gases, gemstones, and more. This breadth ensures accurate and specific analysis tailored to a wide array of industries.
Innovations:
This system allows real-time monitoring of operational status, performance, and communication, ensuring optimal functioning at every stage.
In addition to standard ambient-temperature pyroelectric detectors, options include temperature-stabilized pyroelectric and semiconductor-cooled MCT detectors, offering flexibility to match specific application needs.
Featuring Ethernet and Wi-Fi dual-mode communication, this system aligns with the latest "Internet + testing" trends, enabling interconnected testing, remote operation, maintenance, and data cloud computing.
The spacious sample chamber accommodates conventional accessories like liquid cells and ATR, as well as specialized tools such as thermal red combinations and microscopes, with extra space reserved for future accessory additions.
A cube-corner Michelson interferometer, combined with patented fixed mirror alignment technology (Utility model ZL 2013 20099730.2: fixed mirror alignment assembly), ensures long-term stability without requiring dynamic alignment, which otherwise demands complex electronic circuits. The mirrors are gold-coated to maximize light throughput, enhancing detection sensitivity.
Featuring a compact, modular design laid out on a cast aluminum base, this structure balances mechanical robustness with efficient heat dissipation. Its resistance to deformation, vibration, and thermal fluctuations greatly improves both mechanical stability and long-term operational consistency.
Incorporates multiple sealed interferometers and a high-capacity desiccant cartridge with an easy-to-view window for monitoring and replacement. Real-time temperature and humidity monitoring protects the optical system from high temperatures, humidity, and chemical corrosion.
Equipped with high-sensitivity pyroelectric detector pre-amplifier technology, dynamic gain amplification, 24-bit high-precision A/D conversion, real-time control, digital filtering, and network communication. This ensures high-quality, real-time data collection and rapid data transmission.
The electronic system complies with CE certification and electromagnetic compatibility standards, minimizing electromagnetic radiation and adhering to environmentally friendly design principles.
Uses a high-intensity, long-lasting IR source module, optimized for the fingerprint region with a reflex sphere design for consistent IR radiation. An isolated IR source module and spacious heat dissipation chamber ensure greater thermal stability and stable optical interference.
