Accessories for ALPHA FT-IR
User exchangeable QuickSnap™ sampling modules allow the analysis of almost any kind of sample (e.g. solids, liquids or gases).
QuickSnap™ Sampling Accessories
Universal sampling module
The universal sampling module enables you to analyze all kind of samples: solids, liquids and gases. This transmission sample compartment with its 2x3“ standard sample holder can hold a variety of gas cells and liquid cells. Solid samples can be investigated in a standard pellet holder or using a magnetic film holder. Samples with a reflective surface are analyzed with a dedicated accessory for reflection measurements.
ALPHA‘s Platinum ATR single reflection diamond ATR module is designed to bring more ease to your routine analysis. The ergonomic one-finger clamp mechanism simplifies the sample positioning. It is easy to clean, as the pressure applicator can be rotated 360° to provide the user with unobstructed access to the sampling area. A variety of sampling options for temperature controlled measurements and liquid flow through analysis complete the versatility of the Platinum ATR.
Eco-ATR
ATR is an easy to use FT-IR sampling method that is ideal for both solids and liquids and does not require any sample preparation. The Eco ATR is a single reflection ATR sampling module with a very
attractive cost/performance ratio. It is equipped with a versatile high throughput ZnSe ATR crystal for the analysis of powders, solids, pastes and liquids.
DRIFT
The DRIFT module allows to economically analyse a broad variety of solid samples: powders, inorganic material, gem stones, papers,
textiles and others. The DRIFT module is designed for easy sampling and high light throughput. This results in an unmatched time-per-analysis for FT-IR diffuse reflection measurements.
Module for external reflection
Dedicated reflection modules allow contactless and non-destructive FT-IR analysis of large samples like coated metal, paper or textile
fabrics, that are simply placed on top of the instrument to be analyzed. Also very large or even immobile samples like surfaces of cars or airplanes or mural paintings during restoration process can be investigated, where the instrument is placed in front of the material/object. An integrated video camera controls and monitors the sampling area.
