FT/IR-6000 Series of FTIR Spectrometers

The FT/IR-6000 Series FTIR spectrometers offer an optical bench which can be customized for use with the widest range of experimental requirements, including full vacuum, step-scan, microscope imaging and more.

The FT/IR-6000 optical bench is based on a 28 degree retro-reflector (corner-cube) mirror Michelson interferometer and designed for absolute flexibility; in its ‘standard’ configuration it has an extensive range of source, beam splitter and detector options from Near-IR to Mid-IR to Far-IR measurements

FT/IR-6000

The FT/IR-6000 is purgeable as standard with an option for full or partial vacuum, to completely eliminate the interference of environmental gases and vapors on the sample spectrum (CO2 and H20 elimination algorithms are also provided). As an option, the interferometer, sample chamber and detector areas can all be independently evacuated (as can the IRT-5000/7000 FTIR microscopes)to completely eliminate gases and vapors for the most sensitive sample measurements. The FT/IR-6000 optical benches can also be used in a combination of vacuum and purge for faster sample turn-around.
The FT/IR-6000 has several options for emission port optics with a range of window materials for measurement of external light sources. These can be coupled with customizable collection optics to focus a range of sizes and power outputs of light sources into the interferometer.

System Description

The FT/IR-6000 comprises three basic optical benches utilizing the same Spectra Manager II software platform. Models range from the FT/IR-6600 with a resolution of 0.4 cm-1(S/N 45,000:1), and the FT/IR-6700 with a resolution of 0.25cm-1 (S/N 47,000:1) both with aluminum optics, to the FT/IR-6800 with 0.07cm-1 resolution (S/N 55,000:1)utilizing gold optics.
All instruments includea high output ceramic source, KBrbeamsplitter and DLATGS detector.
The real power of these systems is not only the uncompromising design and the high optical throughput, but also the customization options for virtually any experimental requirement

Powerful Data Analysis

The FT/IR-6000 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 future use (User Adaptive Software capability).

Spectra Manager capabilites
  • Measurement parameters and the data acquisition/spectral processing sequence 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
