FT/IR-4000 Series of FTIR Spectrometers

The FT/IR-4000 series FTIR spectrometers has been designed to bring many of the features from the research grade FT/IR-6000 series into an affordable package for simpler applications such as QA/QC, materials identification and academic research and teaching.
The newly developed monolithic diamond provides excellent transmission and without any coating or transfer optics has great performance into the far-IR.

UV Spectrophotometers
FT/IR-4600

The FT/IR-4600 is a powerful Mid-IR FTIR spectrometer (wavenumber range 7800 to 350 cm-1), with many features that you find in a research grade instrument, such as non-hygroscopic KRS-5 windows to prevent damage to the interferometer, a Peltier stabilized DLaTGS detector and a high output ceramic source for maximum sensitivity. Permanent optical alignment is guaranteed by corner cube (retro-reflective) mirrors with auto-alignment for maximum energy. With a resolution of 0.7cm-1 and a S/N greater than 25,000:1.

FT/IR-4700

The FT/IR-4700 has features similar to the FT/IR-4600 but with higher resolution 0.4cm-1 and S/N over 35,000:1, making it ideal for high resolution applications such as gas analysis.

Flexibility

For many routine sample analyses the FT/IR-4000 can be paired with the ATR-PRO ONE single bounce ATR with a choice of prisms including a high throughput monolithic diamond, Germanium (ideal for carbon-black samples) or ZnSe. A choice of clamps with pressure up to 10,000 psi ensures the best sample contact with the crystal.
For flexible applications a second detector can be added, such as an MCT with automatic exchange (or specify a different beam splitter/detector) for a dedicated system to work in the near-IR or far-IR.
The FT/IR-4000 can be coupled to any of the IRT Series of FTIR microscopes to create a versatile system for both micro and macro FTIR spectroscopy.

Simple Operation

The FT/IR-4000 Series is controlled by Spectra Manager™ Suite cross-platform software. This includes a wide variety of standard functions such as spectra measurement, Quick-Start, QC Compare and quantitative analysis. Additional applications can be added, such as chemometrics (PLS, PCR, CLS etc.). The sample measurement screen can be fully customized according to user requirements and each customized screen and parameters can be saved for different users (User Adaptive Software).

Spectra Manager capabilites
  • Information such as the instrument status, measurement parameters and the sequence of data acquisition is displayed
  • Data analysis results such as spectral comparison and sample quantification are displayed and readily available
  • A real-time data processing function can be used to observe and verify the spectrum during measurements
  • Spectra stored in thumbnails can be overlaid with the current spectrum during sample measurements
  • Self-diagnosis function allows verification of the current instrument status
  • Target peak(s) and/or functional groups can be easily checked by a zoom function
  • The data collection/processing sequence can be defined to include several data manipulation commands, activated as the spectral data is collected
