Description
Shimadzu’s IRSpirit-X series of Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrophotometers consists of three models: the entry-level IRSpirit-LX, high-sensitivity IRSpirit-TX, and moisture-resistant IRSpirit-ZX. Housed in a small, lightweight design, they are equipped with the IR Pilot™ Analysis Navigation Program, which enables operators unfamiliar with FTIR analysis to obtain data easily, and the patent-pending spectrum advisor function that judges the quality of the measurement results and proposes how to obtain favorable data.
The IRSpirit-X series features the smallest Shimadzu FTIRs, with an installation space the size of an A3 sheet of paper or smaller and a weight of 8.5 kg. They also boast a significant increase in sensitivity compared to the previous series, with the IRSpirit-TX offering the highest sensitivity in this class of compact FTIR systems.
Key features/benefits:
- Compact and portable – small footprint of 390 mm (W) 250 mm (D), which is smaller than an A3 piece of paper
- Standard-sized sample compartment – allows the use of a wide range of accessories
- Spectrum Advisor Function – supports the acquisition of high-quality data; the judgment of data quality is determined by comparing the measurement results with examples created based on optimal measurement conditions.
- Sealed interferometer – keeps the optics free of moisture to give a high signal-to-noise ratio and help the instrument run for years
- Built-in analytical intelligence program, IR Pilot™ – includes 23 macro application programs for easy start-up and navigation, allowing inexperienced operators to analyze samples quickly and easily.
- Instrument Status Monitoring – Instrument status is automatically verifi¬ed during start-up and results are saved in a report
- Can be simultaneously controlled with a Shimadzu energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence (EDXRF) spectrometer via a single PC – allows more comprehensive data analysis
Optimized for network applications, LabSolutions IR software offers intuitive operation, high-level administrative functions, secure data management, and a variety of data manipulation functions. With the proper software compliance package, the IRSpirit-X and the software setup can provide total data integrity, user administration, and audit trails to comply with FDA 21 CFR Part 11 compliance fully.
