Features dynamic alignment at 5000 times per second and a high-brightness ceramic light source)
High sensitivity comparable to general-purpose models (IRSpirit-T)
DLATGS detector with temperature control function
The silicone oil content in the paraffin oil (1.0%) was obtained by repeating the single-reflection ATR method for five times. Data obtained using the DLATGS detector with temperature control is shown on the left and data obtained using the DLATGS detector without temperature control is shown on the right. The internal heat in the instrument and the environment temperature caused large baseline data fluctuations without temperature control. In contrast, using the detector with temperature control resulted in highly repeatable data.
High Reliability Due to Humidity-Resistant Design
The robust optics are designed to ensure the system can be used reliably even under harsh temperature and humidity conditions.
Optics sealed in an aluminum die cast body
Status monitor function features electrical and paper-based indicators.
Beam splitter includes a humidity-resistant coating.
Select from a KBr window (to 70% RH) or a KBS-5 window (to 90% RH) which both include a humidity-resistant coating.*
*No condensation
Instrument Status Monitoring
Instrument status is automatically verified during start-up and results are saved in a report. This feature is especially convenient for instrument management. Pharmacopoeia-compliant programs convenient for routine inspections are also included.
Self-diagnostic function
An automatic self-diagnostic function inspects the signal system and optics during instrument initialization. It obtains a variety of information and automatically outputs the results in one file, making instrument management easy. The instrument status history can also be confirmed.
Status monitor function
This function continuously monitors and manages information about the light source, semiconductor laser, humidity inside the instrument, the window plate connection (interlock), and accessories.

IR Pilot
IR Pilot offers a total of 23 application programs as standard, making it easy for operators with minimal FTIR experience to analyze samples by simply selecting the analysis purpose and accessory. There is no need to set parameters. It enables the measurement of multiple samples with only one click.
Identification Test Program
This program makes pass/fail judgments for test samples based on verification methods described in Pharmacopoeia and standards specified in each country, such as "Infrared Spectrophotometry" in the Japanese Pharmacopoeia and Japan's Specifications and Standards for Food Additives. In addition to identification tests for pharmaceutical and food product identification tests, the program can also be used for acceptance and pre-shipment inspections. The program calculates the difference between peak wavenumbers from standard and test samples and the difference between the peak intensity ratios and then prints a report of pass/fail judgment results. It includes spectra for the 57 substances specified in Japan's Specifications and Standards for Food Additives.
Contaminant Analysis Program
The contaminant analysis program identifies measured contaminants using Shimadzu's proprietary identification algorithm (Japanese Patent No. 5205918) in combination with a spectral library containing more than 550 spectra for substances commonly detected as contaminants. After data analysis, it automatically makes a pass/fail judgment and creates a report. Even if the contaminant is a mixture, it searches for major and minor components and displays their ranks. Since the number of components in the mixture does not need to be specified, even operators with minimal infrared analysis experience can easily analyze samples.
Shown here is an analysis of a contaminant attached to a tablet surface using the Contaminant Analysis Program. The results showed Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) was the major component, and sugar and calcium carbonate were the accessory components. Since the two accessory components are often used as tablet components, it is estimated that the components were scraped up at the same time when scraping the contaminant.
QATR-S
The QATR-S is a single-reflection ATR measurement attachment. The prism is made of diamond, so the measurement wavenumber range is up to 400 cm−1 (wide-band). With a liquid sample, simply place a drop on the prism to measure spectra. For other samples, clamp the sample closely against the prism surface before measurement on the sample surface. Large samples (with a large area) can be measured without cutting. The incident angle is 45 degrees. Three prism materials are available: diamond (high-throughput), germanium (Ge) or zinc selenide (ZnSe). The Ge prism is best suited for samples with a high refractive index.
Functionality is included for automatically recognizing attached accessories.
DRS-8000A
Although powder samples are mixed with KBr, as with the KBr pellet method, the DRS-8000A analyzes the samples in their original state; creating pellets is not necessary. For plastic moldings, emery paper attached to the SiC sampler (P/N 200-66750-01) scrapes off part of the surface, forming a powdered sample that can be analyzed. Easily obtain diffuse reflectance spectra similar to transmittance spectra using the built-in Kubelka-Munk conversion in LabSolutions IR software. Functionality is included for automatically recognizing attached accessories.
MHP-1
This is a compact, inexpensive hand-driven press used to produce 4 mm dia KBr pellets. A pellet produced in the frame is directly measured using the dedicated holder, which ensures exceptional simplicity of operation. No dies or vacuum pump are required.
EDXIR-Holder
This foldable holder consists of an adhesive layer with samples attached and polypropylene film designed for X-ray fluorescence analysis. It provides measurement by keeping the samples in the holder with EDX and FTIR. When using EDX for measurement, close the holder and place the polypropylene film directly to the irradiation side (downside). When using FTIR for measurement, open the holder and press the samples attached to the adhesive layer against the ATR prism. Close the holder after the measurement and it can be used as a sample stocker.
