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.

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

• A full range of sampling accessories with IQ accessory recognition
• Vibration-proof optical bench
• Large sample compartment
• Retro-reflector (corner-cube) mirrors with auto-alignment to optimize energy throughput
• Purgeable and vacuum sample compartments and optical bench
• Detectors from DLATGS, InGaAs, InSb, MCT and He-cooled Bolometers
• Range of beam splitter materials with either manual or automatic exchange
• Optional FT-IR microscopy and IR Imaging for both micro and macro measurement
• Rapid scan and step-scan (microsecond or nanosecond)
• Wavenumber extension option (25,000 to 10 cm-1)
• Vibrational Circular Dichroism(VCD) option

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).
