Combination with MultiChambIR Attachment

Up to three measurement modes in one attachment

External connection optics allows users to install up to three attachments in one system and to simply by switch from one to another. Furthermore, Universal optical base enables users to freely customize optics by placing mirrors and sample holders onto the base. Therefore, even a large sample or an attachment which cannot fit in the main compartment, can be applied.

Combination with External Connection Optics

  • A wide variety of measurement attachments are available.

    Name of AttachmentMain Application / Feature
    SmartTech Attachment Qualitative measurement of powder and solid sample
    Fiber Interface Attachment Process monitoring
    Long Path Gas Cell Attachment Quantification of gas concentration
    Single Reflectance ATR Attachment Surface analysis of powder, solid and liquid sample
    NIR Specular Reflectance Attachment Non-destructive measurement of food and medicine
    IRT-1000 Micro IR Attachment Foreign object
    Autosampler Attachment High throughput analysis of drugs, etc.
    Transmission Measurement Attachment Qualitative / quantitative analysis of film sample
    MultiChambIR Attachment Three measurement modes (Transmittance/reflectance, diffusive reflectance and ATR) in one attachment

System Configuration Examples

Dedicated accessory configurations include gas cells, microscopes, NIR fiber optics, and open path analyzers. The MPS sample compartment allows connection to commercially available FTIR accessories. The system is designed for high performance in the laboratory and in the field.

External Connection Optics

Qualitative, surface and quantitative analysis can be carried out in one system.

Foreign Objective Analysis

A wide range of sample sizes from centimeter to micron can be applied.

Universal Optical Base (Gas Analysis)

A wide range of gas concentration can be applied by attaching gas cells with several different path lengths.
