The Spectrum 100 is a Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrometer fitted with attenuated total reflectance (ATR) and transmission accessories.
Universal Attenuated Total Reflectance (UATR) with Diamond and Germanium crystals:
This method facilitates fast analysis of thin films (down to microns), opaque solids, liquids, and powders. It covers a wavenumber range of 650-4000 cm⁻¹ (22 µm to 2.5 µm).
Transmission:
This method enables analysis of thin films (less than 100 microns) deposited on transparent mid-infrared substrates or analyse powdered samples mixed with KBr. The transmission mode operates within the 450-4000 cm⁻¹ (22 µm to 2.5 µm) range.
The Spectrum 100 caters to a broad spectrum of samples, including:
Organic powders, liquids, and films
Biological sections
Minerals
Polymers
