FTIR Spectrometer IRXross

                                                                                            IRXross 100 %T Line



55,000:1 S/N Enables Ultra-High-Sensitivity Measurements 
Using the IRXross with a single-reflection ATR attachment, an oil stain on paper was analyzed. Analyzing the sample directly without pretreatment would not result in good peaks, so n-hexane was applied to the stain area to extract the stain substances. Then a drop of the extract solution was placed on the ATR prism for analysis. The system is able to detect even the extremely weak 0.00023 absorbance signal with good sensitivity.




0,25 cm-1 Resolution Enables High-Resolution Measurements
N2O gas (500 ppm), considered an environmental problem as a greenhouse gas, was analyzed. Measuring the gas at high resolution shows the peaks near 2,230 cm-1 properly separated, whereas a resolution of 1.0 cm-1 only shows the peaks as two levels.



High-Speed Measurement Enables Faster Reaction Tracking
When tracking the curing reaction in UV curable resin, the data shows that the intensity of the peak at 1,635 cm-1 began decreasing 5.0 seconds after UV irradiation and the reaction was finished by 5.5 seconds.



Library Useful for Identification Testing and Contaminant Analysis

Approx. 12,000-spectra library
A wide variety of libraries, including Shimadzu’s unique libraries, reagents, polymers and more, is included standard. Searching with standard libraries provides high-quality search results without purchasing extra libraries
 
Complies Fully with Regulations
Humidity-Resistant Window Material Compatible with the Wavenumber Measurement Range Specified in Pharmacopoeia
Either a KBr or KRS-5 window can be selected. The KRS-5 window maintains humidity resistance up to 90 %RH (for temperatures up to 30 °C) and is compliant with pharmacopoeia wavenumber range requirements (350 to 7,800 cm-1).

Internal Dehumidifier (Optional) Ensures High Durability
This dehumidifier removes moisture from inside the interferometer electrolytically using a solid polymer electrolytic membrane. It maintains low humidity levels inside the interferometer without leaving the light source ON. Using the dehumidifier can reduce power consumption by about 90 % compared to leaving the light source illuminated.

AIM-9000 Infrared Microscope


The AIM-9000 incorporates a bright, optimized optical system and a high-sensitivity MCT detector. In addition to enabling high-sensitivity measurement of micro samples, the system has been automated to ensure all steps involved in micro analysis can be performed quickly and easily.
