A2 Technologies has rolled out the new integrated FTIR analyzer. The high-performance FTIR spectrometer is based on the company’s ML analyzer, and it occupies 8 sq. in. space, on a laboratory bench. The ML analyzer features DialPath technology for analyzing liquid samples.
FTIR Spectrometer
The DialPath technology has an optical head, which can be turned into position to offer one of three sample pathlengths ranging from 30 to 250 microns. For analyzing a sample, a liquid drop is placed on an infrared-transparent window, which is mounted on top of the analyzer. A second window is then turned into position, making the sample sandwiched between the windows. This generates highly-reproducible sample pathlength between the windows.
The DialPath technology provides three different pathlengths options, which are specified when the spectrometer is ordered. This offers a FTIR analyzer with enhanced performance, convenient usage, and versatility in multi-application settings.
The technology enables users to perform liquid analysis easily similar to ATR. Users need not utilize conventional demountable liquid cells that are difficult to utilize with viscous samples, are difficult to clean and fill, and need spacers. The ML, equipped with DialPath technology, houses samples with a diverse viscosity range.
