GC/FTIR interface

AABSPEC has introduced a new, high performance GC/FTIR Interface, the IX10-8B.

This no-compromise design has as its heart a solid gold light-pipe formed from pure gold using newly developed manufacturing methods. It provides very low flow rate capability for excellent capillary chromatography plus extreme inertness for the most demanding sample types.

Additional new technology has been developed enabling higher upper temperature operating limits. The resulting product offers unmatched excellence in Capillary GC/FTIR. The IX10-8B is available now.

New transmission probe

Aabspec has released a new dual sample transmission probe for their #S and #SX multi-mode spectroscopy/ microscopy systems.

The probe is formed in a single piece of 316 stainless steel (no welds, no brazes) and provides lower thermal mass with integral sample temperature read-out. The #S and #SX provide the capability to compare two samples in the same experiment. Temperatures from –150degC to 600degC can be used with pressures from UHV to 1000psi.

Optical modes include FTIR using Transmission or Large Angle Reflectance with the option of UV irradiation. In addition, the #S and #SX provide Raman Spectroscopy and Microscopy. Applications include polymer, adhesive, catalyst and
