A2 Technologies (USA) showcased an exciting newaddition to its innovative newrange of FTIR spectrometers at Pittcon 2008, NewOrleans, Louisiana. Further extending its range of portable FTIR spectrometers, A2 Technologieswill be launching a revolutionary handheld portable FTIR spectrometer specifically designed for field-based surface analysis applications.Weighing only six pounds, the innovative light-weight analyser can be fully operated using only one hand and is also capable of handling Attenuated Transmission Reflectance (ATR) applications for users in the general laboratory. This FTIR analyzerwas unveiled at Pittcon 2008. Dr. John Seelinbinder presented a product forumon behalf of A2 Technologies on this newdevelopment at Pittcon. Featuring interchangeable internal reflectance (ATR) and external reflectance sampling interfaces, this system is designed for sampling almost any material. Designed to analyze solids, pastes, gels and liquids with a traditional ATR, the novel spectrometer is also capable of analyzing large surface analysis with the A2 Technologies’ unique diamond internal reflection sampling system. This highly compact spectrometer combines all the capabilities of a laboratory based FTIR with the advantages of a portable instrument that can be used in the field.
