Nicolet iS50 FT-IR Spectrometer: Improving Productivity through Compact Automation

چکیده
Challenges Facing Industrial Analytical Labs Many routine QC/QA laboratories can perform material analyses with single range, basic Fourier transforminfrared (FT-IR) instrument configurations. However, modern analytical laboratories face increasing workloads from a broad range of sample types with a simultaneous drive for faster results and more complex sample characterization needs. Flexibility to analyze multiple sample types becomes mandatory when rapidly responding to these different application requests. Such diversity requires laboratory instruments to be reconfigured for specific measurements multiple times per day, taking time away from other critical activities. This also implies that laboratory personnel possess the necessary skills and experience to make decisions on how best to configure the instrument for a given application. In addition, frequent handling of delicate optics components presents a costly risk for instrument failure. As a result, many industrial laboratories choose to outsource complex analyses. These limitations inevitably slow the laboratory’s ability to respond to urgent business needs.

What Is an Ft-ir and an Ft-ir Spectrometer?
An FT-IR Spectrometer is an instrument which acquires broadband NIR to FIR spectra. Unlike a dispersive instrument, i.e. grating monochromator or spectrograph, an FT-IR Spectrometer collects all wavelengths simultaneously. This feature, called the Multiplex or Felgett Advantage, is discussed in detail on page 3. FT-IR Spectrometers are often simply called FT-IRs. But for the purists, an FT-IR (...
متن کاملAnalyzing Automotive Paints With Extended Range ATR: 1800–100 cm-1
Infrared (IR) spectroscopy is used extensively to characterize the chemical composition of trace evidence such as paints, fibers and adhesives as well as seized drugs and related chemicals. We have recently introduced the Thermo ScientificTM iSTM50 ATR module, a novel, extended-range attenuated total reflectance (ATR) module that is integrated into the NicoletTM iS50 FT-IR spectrometer. This in...
متن کاملClassification of Bacteria Using FT-IR
The classification of bacteria is generally based on the morphology and biochemical reactions of the bacteria. However, these measurements are time consuming, and require training and expertise. Infrared (IR) spectroscopic measurements of bacteria followed by a formal chemometrics analysis could offer advantages of speed and consistency. Such an analysis was first tried in the late 1950s, with ...
متن کاملReexamination of Global Carbonate Abundances Using Tes Data
Introduction: The recent discovery of carbonaterich outcrops in the Nili Fossae region of Mars using data returned by the Compact Reconnaissance Imaging Spectrometer for Mars (CRISM) instrument [1] as well as indications of 2-3% carbonate in alkaline soils at the Phoenix landing site [2] have brought into question the hypothesis that much of martian history has been dominated by an acidic weath...
متن کاملInstrumental Requirements for Accurate Analysis of Optical Components: A comparison of the PerkinElmer 983 Dispersive Spectrometer and the Frontier Optica FT-IR Spectrometer
In the development of the FrontierTM OpticaTM, PerkinElmer has addressed the well known sources of error in the measurement of challenging optical materials with standard FT-IR instruments. The resulting improved performance over the previous standard of the optical industry is demonstrated by both the verification carried out internally, and also by that carried out by an external test laborat...
