Description
For Use With (Equipment): Nicolet FT-IR Spectrometers
Type: Smart ARK Trough Plate Kit
Unit Size: Each
• Proprietary crystal design allows crystal plates to be changed quickly, without optical realignment
• Both trough and flat plate style crystal plates are available to suit the specific sample analysis: Trough plate version is optimized for use with liquids, pastes, and gels and the flat plate version is optimized for use with solid films
• Crystal plates are coated with polytetrafluoroethylene to improve chemical resistivity and prevent discoloration of the plate surface
• Pressure device has been optimized to reduce breakage of the crystals that can result from too much or uneven pressure
• Crystal design ensures reproducibility and reliability with every measurement, which is especially critical when transferring analytical methods between laboratories with multiple spectrometers
• Crystal plates can provide a suitable angle and material that results in an effective pathlength from 0.6 to 45 micrometers
• Crystal materials are available for samples of almost any pH Specifications Crystal Material: Zinc Selenide (standard), Germanium (optional), Zinc Sulfide (optional), AMTIR (optional)Angle of Incidence: 45 degree (standard), 30, 40, 50, 55, 60, and 70 degree (optional, depending on material)Number of Reflections: 12 (with standard 45 degree angle of incidence)Pathlength: Approximately 12 micrometersSample Volume (trough): 1.0 millilitersHeated Option: Allows sample analysis from ambient to 100° CFlow-through Option: For automated liquid analysis Thermal Option
• Capable of heating samples to temperatures ranging from ambient to 100°C, with an accuracy of ±1° C
• Includes a set of non-thermally conductive handles that fit on the trough sampling plate
• Insulated to minimize the radiation of heat to the sample compartment The Smart ARK is available with a wide variety of crystal types and angles with heated and flow-through options making it extremely versatile for addressing a wide variety of analytical needs. Recommended for:
• Liquids
• Solids
• Semi-solids
• Powders
• Quantitative and qualitative measurements
