Thermo Scientific Nicolet™ iS50 Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectrometer

Description

Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) is a qualitative analysis technique that measures an analyzed sample's absorption of infrared (IR) radiation as a function of frequency or wavelength. FTIR identifies chemical bonds in a molecule by producing an infrared spectrum and providing information on the sample's functional group and chemical composition.

Thermo Scientific Nicolet™ iS50 spectrometer can work in two operational modes:

  • Attenuated Total Reflectance (ATR) Mode - The ATR method suits solid materials (powder, block, film, fabric) and liquid materials.
  • Transmission Mode with Potassium Bromide (KBr) pellet - The KBr method is suitable for solid (finely grounded samples – powder samples).
