An infrared spectrophotometer is an analytical instrument used to identify materials including organic polymers. Infrared spectrophotometers record the relative amount of energy as a function of the wavelength/frequency of the infrared radiation when it passes through a sample. Therefore, chemical structures of different samples will reflect differences in the IR absorption spectrum allowing for identification of a sample. Unlike a dispersive spectrometer, an FTIR spectrometer or FTIR spectrophotometer is used to simultaneously obtain spectral data of a sample. It does this by using an interferometer to collect the interferogram, also known as the raw data/signal format, which can then be translated into the infrared spectrum of the sample by means of a fourier transform algorithm. As a result, there are many advantages including greater signal-to-noise ratio, high resolution, higher throughput, and a short wavelength limit. FTIR spectrometers can be used in a variety of industries including environmental, pharmaceutical, and petrochemical.

Compact and easy to use, this instrument is a good match for applications requiring fast, high-quality, reliable answers. Optics designed for reliability in non-lab environments, innovative sampling interfaces, and fit-for-purpose software provide answers for liquid and solid samples at the sample site.
Features - 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 path length 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.
