World\'s Smallest Laboratory FT-IR Spectrometer

Published over 17 years ago. See the latest and most current information on Analytical instrumentation.

The ALPHA interferometer is based on Bruker Optics` patented RockSolidâ„¢ design, which is used in our laboratory and rugged process spectrometers. This means the ALPHA delivers the performance and

reproducible results people have come to expect from a Bruker FT-IR. The ALPHA is also insensitive to vibration, so it can be placed almost anywhere, can be moved, and be immediately operational without

any need for alignment.

The ALPHA offers full FT-IR sampling flexibility. User exchangeable QuickSnapâ„¢ sampling modules allow the analysis of almost any kind of sample (e.g. solids, liquids or gases). Transmission, external

reflection and attenuated total reflection (ATR) FT-IR sampling accessories are available with the QuickSnapâ„¢ interface. ALPHA`s new innovative "Platinum ATR" sampling module incorporates a unique

one-finger pressure applicator for faster and more reproducible ATR sampling. The "Platinum ATR" is designed for easy cleaning, with a pressure applicator that can be rotated 360° to provide the user with unobstructed access to the sampling area. The ALPHA makes FT-IR analysis simpler than it has ever been before. The OPUS/Mentor software, with its easy and intuitive user interface, guides the operator through all the steps of an analysis. The user interface can easily be customized for dedicated applications or experiments. Bruker AXS.
