• 24-bit ADC, USB 2.0 interface, Windows XP/2000 operating system.

Operating procedure

The instrument is controlled by the SpectraLUM® program running under Windows 2000/XP, which ensures ease of control and enables even untrained personnel to quickly master the operation of the instrument. The program automates the process of measuring and processing the spectrum, allows the operator to obtain information about the sample in a convenient form and has a developed system for viewing and processing the received data.
Gas analysis A gas
sample is filled into a single- or multi-pass gas cuvette and the transmission (or absorption) spectrum is measured using the SpectraLUM® program. The length of the optical path of the used gas cell varies from 50 mm to 2.4 m or more and is selected depending on the properties of the measured gases and their concentration.
Analysis of liquid samples
For the analysis of liquids, collapsible and non-collapsible liquid cuvettes are used, with an optical path length from 0.01 to 1 mm and with windows made of various materials that provide transparency in the required spectral range and the necessary resistance to moisture, as well as ATR or MATRT attachments.
Analysis of Solid Samples
Solid samples are pressed with KBr and the transmission (or absorption) spectrum of the obtained “tablet” is measured using the SpectraLUM® program. The sample can also be triturated with vaseline oil and the spectrum measured in a liquid cuvette.
For the greatest rapidity, or in case of complexity or insufficient information content of other measurement methods, ATR, MATRT or diffuse reflection prefixes can be used.
Film analysis
To measure the transmission (or absorption) spectrum of films, a thin film magnetic holder is used. To measure the ATR spectra – vertical or horizontal ATR attachments.
Small Object Analysis An
IR microscope is used to obtain IR spectra of small samples or small areas of the sample surface. Depending on the operating mode of the microscope, it is possible to obtain transmission, reflection or ATR spectra.
Identifying Sample Spectra from Spectrum Libraries
The measured sample spectrum can be automatically identified. For this, the SpectraLUM® software (library module) is used. Spectrum libraries can be ordered together with the instrument or created independently
