FTIR-ATR spectrometer

FTIR Spectrometer Nicolet iS50 with ATR Accessory The Nicolet iS50 Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectrometer by Thermo Scientific is a versatile, high-performance analytical tool widely used in chemical, physical, and biological research. With its ATR (Attenuated Total Reflectance) accessory, the device efficiently analyzes solid and liquid samples without requiring complex preparation.

Design and Functionality The spectrometer's modular design supports customization for diverse research needs. The laboratory configuration includes a high-performance Michelson interferometer for precise measurements across mid- and far-infrared ranges (7800 to 350 cm^-1. It features a durable silicon nitride (SiN) ceramic globar source that eliminates the need for water cooling, enhancing reliability.

ATR Accessory Using the principle of total internal reflection, the ATR accessory enables direct sample analysis on a diamond surface. This method simplifies the examination of irregularly shaped or difficult-to-prepare samples, providing broad application potential.

Key Features:

1. Automation and Ease of Use Automated diagnostic, validation, and calibration functions simplify operation. OMNIC software offers user-friendly control and access to a spectral database of over 10,000 compounds.

2. High Sensitivity The DLaTGS detector with a KBr window (12,000–350 cm⁻¹) ensures accurate measurements, even for low-concentration substances.

3. Broad Application Range Ideal for identifying organic and inorganic compounds, monitoring reactions, and analyzing polymers and proteins. It is also used in environmental, pharmaceutical, and forensic studies.
