FT-IR educational experiments are
available gratis
For classroom or teaching laboratory use, experiments offer insight into the theory and operation of FT-IR spectroscopy and are suitable for use in undergraduate, technical and scientific programmes
Thermo Fisher Scientific announces the availability of basic educational packages for Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectrometers The new packages are an integral part of Thermo Fisher Scientific's wide range of educational and technical support offerings and are ideal for use with the Thermo Scientific Nicolet IR100 and IR200 spectrometers

Data security and integrity tools for FT-IR
Software is designed to provide maximum security and data integrity for meeting regulatory compliance with the Food and Drug Administration's 21 CFR part 11 rule
Power and productivity in dispersive Raman
Spectrometer features non-contact, non-destructive analysis of both microscopic and macroscopic samples in a highly customisable, research-grade
Easy to use, the educational packages require only an FT-IR spectrometer and basic sampling accessories such as transmission cells or an ATR (attenuated total reflectance) accessory.
Initial experiments introduce students to FT-IR spectroscopy, providing the opportunity to discuss the FT-IR process, examine functional groups and present quantitative analysis.
Application-specific experiments are also covered, focusing on isomer concepts, analysing HCI gas, comparing classes of recycling plastics and isolation and identification of essential oils.
The packages are available to download in PDF format.
The Thermo Scientific Nicolet IR series spectrometers are described as ideal teaching instruments.
The Nicolet IR100 is a complete FT-IR system including an integrated computer operating with intuitive Thermo Scientific Encompass software.
An integrated FT-IR system eliminates the distractions, maintenance and risks that operating a separate computer system entails.
Featuring cost and operational benefits identical to the IR100, the Nicolet IR200 system provides the ability to support a separate PC and computer monitor if needed.
The Nicolet IR100 and IR200 systems both accept sampling accessories including ATR, speeding up sample preparation and minimizing cleanup.
The compact size of the instruments occupies little space in the laboratory, and the light size means that the IR100 and IR200 can be manually lifted and shared between laboratories, lowering cost of ownership.
Easy-to-use Encompass software with touch-screen options is also included, rendering the systems ideal for everyday use.
