Very Compact and Smart FTIR spectrometer
About the size of a lab book, the very small FTIR spectrometer ALPHA II will play a big part in your daily routine. Plug & play set-up, easy-to-use software and QuickSnapTM sampling modules assure powerful and reliable FTIR analysis you expect from Bruker.
Features:
- Low-cost, small foot print FTIR spectrometer
- Quality components with long lifetime and prolonged guarantee
- Temperature stabilized detector, improved IR source CenterGlowTM
- RockSolidTM - robust, high performance interferometer
- Flexibility: QuickSnapTM sampling modules for transmission, ATR and reflection
- OPUS Touch: easy touchscreen operation with no need of external PC
- Fully automated test routines for validation according to cGMP (OQ, PQ)
- 21 CFR Part 11 and validation according to EU-, JP- and US-Pharmacopeia
Quality control and identification made easy
The predominant question in quality control is to verify that the sample meets its specifications. With QuickCompare (OPUS software feature) the appropriate evaluation function is provided. QuickCompare methods are set up without effort and the evaluation result is clear and safe. Furthermore, the identification of unknown samples is of importance, e.g. of a contamination that caused a product failure. Identification results from an automated search of an analogue reference spectrum in spectral libraries.
OPUS Touch: The easiest operation:
Significant innovation is possibility of implementation of user-friendly software OPUS Touch. In combination with attached touch-screen and incorporated PC, it allows intuitive operation and evaluation for even untrained users.
QuickSnapTM Sampling Modules
User exchangeable QuickSnapTM sampling modules allow the analysis of almost any kind of sample (e.g. solids, liquids or gases).
Modules:
- Transmission – foil and KBr tablet holders, liquid cells, gas cells, flow through cells
- Reflection – 30° reflection module, contactless external reflection, DRIFTS, specular reflection
- ATR – Diamond, ZnSe or Ge ATR, multi-reflection ATR, flow through ATR
RockSolidTM interferometer
The permanently aligned RocksolidTM interferometer is a unique patented component which yields over 20% higher throughput than ordinary interferometer design. It benefits from dual retro reflection cube corner mirrors and wear-free pivot mechanism located in the center of mass, which ensures exceptional stability and reliability even in harsh environment. With its patented design, the elimination of mirror tilt optically and prevention of mirror shear mechanically is reached.
Advantages:
- No need of standby mode to protect the bearing
- No need of recalibration after movement
- No wearing of mechanical bearing, no spare parts, minimization of service costs
- Resistance to vibration and thermal effects
