The Thermo Fisher Nicolet 8700 FTIR Spectrometer with Continuµm Imaging System is a research-quality tool providing superior performance and advanced scanning capabilities
over other FTIR insruments. Our system is equipped with some additional accessories,
including the Smart iTR module, an ultra-high-performance, versatile Attenuated Total Reflectance (ATR) sampling
accessory.
FTIR is the standard for chemical identification work in academic, analytical, QC/QA, and forensics laboratories. FTIR can determine the various organic and inorganic compounds within a sample (food, soil, metals and their alloys, polymers, etc.) based on thier unique IR absorbance spectra.
Benefits of FTIR:
- Rapid and non-destructive
- Little sample preparation
- Complementary to Raman
- Easy access to low vibrational frequencies, making it easy to analyze inorganic molecules
System Capabilities:
- Spectral range – 11,000 cm-1 to 350 cm-1
- Resolution – 0.1 cm-1
- Wavelength reproducibility, cm-1 – 0.01
- Scanning speed at a resolution of 16 cm-1 – 90 scan/s
- Type of spectrometer – a Michelson interferometer, 90 degrees
- Number of mirrors in interferometer – 2 pc
