Product Details
- Rugged, portable FTIR spectrometer.
- Delivers reliable high-quality answers in non-lab environments.
- Dedicated fixed sampling interfaces can be selected to optimize performance. Choose from the 4500a ATR (attenuated total reflectance) interface for the chemical analysis of liquids, powders, pastes, and gels, or the TumblIR (4500t) or DialPath interfaces for the rapid chemical analysis of liquids under ambient conditions.
- One, three, or five reflection-diamond ATRs are available, depending on the application.
- Special forensics analyzer package (4500a) identifies unknown substances, including narcotics and psychoactive substances.
- Get the longer pathlength capabilities of transmission FTIR spectroscopy in a format that is as easy to use as ATR: the 4500 DialPath analyzer has a unique cell-less interface design.
- The 4500t enables high sample throughput: simply wipe the two windows to prepare the device for the next sample.
- Method-driven MicroLab FTIR software is designed to deliver what you need—clear, actionable answers. Intuitive, method-driven, multi-language software guides users through every step of operation, while optional settings such as hazard or color-coded alerts help users with the result review.
