Free CD illustrates diamond technology
SensIR Europe announces the publication of a free CD which illustrates the application of diamond sensor technology to Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy
With this powerful, integrated imaging and analysis system you see your sample through the DiComp sensor, ensuring both its accurate placement on, and consistent contact with, the diamond ATR element's surface.
The result is unsurpassed measurement accuracy and repeatability from a technological advance that gives you complete confidence in your FT-IR analysis.
The DuraScope is truly a breakthrough tool that simplifies your analytical methods.
Compatible with all commercial FT-IR systems the benefits of the DuraScope are available to everyone.
A choice of Diamond ATR elements with single or multi-reflection capability provide the sensitivity for high-performance analysis of demanding sample types including hard materials, abrasives, corrosives, gels and pastes even using a standard dTGS detector.
Operation to 650cm-1 is provided with optional ZnSe and to 230cm-1 with optional KRS-5 DiComp sensors (limited only by spectrometer configuration).
The small sample area of the diamond infrared reflection element means very small volumes are required for analysis and assures consistent sample contact with the crystal.
With the integrated, easy-to-use sample compression device and electronic LED pressure gauge, the DuraScope is easily customised to best address sample-handling requirements across a broad range of sample types.
The DuraScope provides all these features in a durable, easy-to-use device.
