Bruker Optics FTIR spectrometer

Bruker Optics has launched the Alpha FTIR spectrometer which features a small footprint, exchangeable sampling accessories and easy-to-use software.

The Alpha interferometer is based on Bruker Optics' RockSolid design and is also insensitive to vibration, so it can be placed almost anywhere, can be moved, and be immediately operational without any need for alignment.

The Alpha offers full FTIR sampling flexibility. User exchangeable QuickSnap sampling modules allow the analysis of almost any kind of sample (eg, solids, liquids or gases). Transmission, external reflection and attenuated total reflection (ATR) FTIR sampling accessories are available with the QuickSnap interface. Alpha's 'Platinum ATR' sampling module incorporates a one-finger pressure applicator for faster and more reproducible ATR sampling. The Platinum ATR is designed for easy cleaning, with a pressure applicator that can be rotated 360° to provide the user with unobstructed access to the sampling area.

The Alpha makes FTIR analysis simpler. The OPUS/Mentor software, with its easy and intuitive user interface, guides the operator through all the steps of an analysis. The user interface can easily be customised for dedicated applications or experiments.
