FTIR600

The FTIR600 stage has been adapted from our market leading high precision THMS600 stage to allow infrared analysis of samples from
< -195°C up to 600°C covering all applications from pharmaceutical to polymers on most benchtop IR microscope systems. Alternative window materials such as Zinc Selenide (ZnSe) and Barium Fluoride (BaF2) are also available.

The FTIR600 is available with either NEXUS software for computer control and recording, or a LinkPad touch screen for stand-alone control.

The FTIR600 stage can be mounted horizontally for IR microscopy setups and vertically for cabinet type IR spectroscopy. The silver block has a tapered hole to allow maximum transmittance of IR without interference. 

The FTIR600 stages have been designed to be used in applications where rapid heating/cooling rates and high levels of accuracy and stability are required, and are supplied in three standard versions:

• FTIR600 for horizontal mounting to IR microscopes.

• FTIRSP600 for vertical mounting in horizontal IR beam spectrometers, incorporating a vertical sample holder and detachable base plate for either free-standing or attachment to a bracket in the spectrometer chamber.

• FTIR600MSO for mounting onto a motorised table with a 160 x 110mm recess.
