This is a simple-to-use, top-of-the range benchtop FTIR. It is normally set up with an ATR attachment allowing rapid recording of FTIR spectra from solids, solutions, creams, pastes tablets etc. The ‘Spectrum’ software is straightforward to use. The instrument includes Atmospheric Vapour Compensation (AVC) allowing peaks from water and carbon dioxide to be easily subtracted from the spectrum, and the wavenumber calibration of the instrument is carried out by means of an Absolute Virtual Instrument (AVI) system, giving a very high accuracy. Other accessories available with this instrument are a reaction monitoring probe and a variable temperature solution cell.
