FTIR spectroscopy

It can be used with a range of sampling accessories:
     ⇒ Diamond ATR (with an optional heated top plate ranging from room temperature to 300 °C)
          → Suitable for a wide range of materials with a wide accessible spectral range 45000cm^-1 to 10 cm^-1 with penetration depth of 1.66 um.
     ⇒ Germanium ATR
          → Suitable for dark materials but more focused on material surface (0.65 um) with accessible spectral range of 5000 cm^-1 to 600 cm^-1
     ⇒ Transmittance
          → Measuring IR transmittance through the whole depth of the sample but may require more extensive sample preparation:

• Film press – Achieves temperatures up to 260 °C to produce small films between 15-500um thick.

• KBr press – Achieves a compacted disc of powder samples in a matrix of KBr.

The Bruker FTIR can be used with one of its two detectors:
     ⇒ DTGS detector – Room temperature thermal detector ( x-axis of 4000 cm^-1 to 400 cm^-1)
     ⇒ MCT detector – Cryogenic quantum detector with higher sensitivity and faster scanning, suitable for monitoring kinetics and resolving small peaks ( x-axis of 4000 cm^-1 to 420 cm^-1)
