Name of equipment:

FT – IR Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrometer with TG – IR Interface

Purpose:

The instrument is used in infrared spectroscopy to identify unknown materials, to determinate the ratio of individual components in the sample, as well as to determinate its quality and consistency.

Model, type, country of origin:

 Spectrum 100S FT-IR UATR + TG/IR Interface TL8000 (RedShift), Perkin Elmer, USA

Technical characte-ristics:

 Wavelength range: 8,300 – 350 cm-1

Atmospheric compensation: minimizes effect of atmospheric water and CO2 on the sample spectra without the need for calibration – AVC Atmospheric Vapor Compensation

DynascanTM interferometer

Sygma-Delta Conversion technology

Accessory: UATR for automatic pressure
Year of origin:  2009.

Method of
work:

 In infrared spectroscopy infrared rays pass through the sample. Some of the rays are absorbed in the sample, and some of them pass through the sample producing a spectrum unique for each element.
