Description
The Agilent 8700 Laser Direct Infrared (LDIR) provides a sophisticated new approach to chemical imaging and infrared spectral analysis. Using Quantum Cascade Laser (QCL) technology and designed to be used by experts and nonexperts alike, the 8700 LDIR provides simple, highly automated operation.
Ideally suited to the analysis of microplastic particles in environmental samples (e.g., water), the 8700 LDIR can analyze more samples, in greater detail, in minutes vs. hours. Automated workflows reduce costs and potential errors and simplify the microplastics analysis process giving you the results you need, fast.
Features - Highly automated workflows allow you to locate, describe and identify microplastics particles from a range of sample matrices
- Ability to survey and image large sample areas and then interrogate smaller areas of interest in more detail without changing any optics
- Fully controlled using Agilent Clarity software, simple load-and-go methods require minimal instrument interaction, and small footprint saves laboratory bench space
- Inbuilt libraries for real-time spectral matching. Results are updated as spectral acquisition continues
- Quantum cascade laser (QCL) and thermoelectrically cooled detectors eliminate the need for liquid nitrogen, reducing operating costs and simplifying maintenance
- On-board ATR allows you to further interrogate unknown particles without removing the sample. Spectra can be exported to external libraries for confirmation of identity
- Enables expert spectroscopists and trained technicians to analyze and characterize samples rapidly and accurately
