Overview of our range of MID-IR spectrometers

definition 

MID-IR spectrometer utilize mid-infrared spectroscopy (MID-IR), a powerful analytical technique for identifying and quantifying substances based on their molecular vibrations. These instruments measure the absorption of MID-IR light by a sample in a specific wavelength range. The resulting absorption spectrum serves as a characteristic fingerprint of the molecules in the sample. spectrometer detailed insights into the molecular composition of materials.

Advantages of MID-IR spectroscopy

MID-IR spectroscopy offers several advantages for molecular analysis. These include the excitation of fundamental molecular vibrations, which leads to strong and specific absorption bands. The MID-IR range contains the so-called fingerprint region, where the absorption patterns are unique for different molecules, thus enabling precise identification. Furthermore, MID-IR spectroscopy is suitable for both qualitative and quantitative analyses.

functionality 

A MID-IR spectrometer typically consists of an infrared light source, an interferometer (in FTIR spectrometers) or a dispersive element (such as a grating), a sample chamber, and an infrared detector. The MID-IR light emitted by the source passes through the sample. Molecules in the sample absorb specific wavelengths corresponding to their vibrational frequencies. The detector measures the intensity of the transmitted light across the wavelength range, and the spectrometer generates an absorption spectrum, which is used to identify and quantify the sample's components.

Areas of application 

MID-IR spectrometer are widely used in various scientific and industrial fields. These include chemical analysis for the identification of organic and inorganic compounds, pharmaceutical quality control for the testing of raw materials and finished products, environmental monitoring for the detection of pollutants in water and air, food science for the analysis of food composition, and materials science for the characterization of polymers and plastics.

Selection criteria 

When selecting a suitable MID-IR spectrometer The specific requirements of your application should be considered. These include the required spectral range, the desired spectral resolution, and the sensitivity of the detector. Additionally, the type of sample and the required measurement speed must be considered. Sample preparation options and data analysis software are also relevant factors.
