ALPHA FT-IR Spectrometer
1 ALPHAII-P 0.00
ALPHA II - Platinum FT-IR Spectrometer with Platinum Diamond-ATR QuickSnap Sampling Module The ALPHA II is an easy-to-use FT-IR spectrometer for quick and reliable IR analysis. The software OPUS-TOUCH is at the forefront, providing a user-friendly interface for performing any analytical task most efficiently. Whether it's composition identification of unknown samples, product quality verification, or interactive spectral analysis, OPUS-TOUCH guides the user through the workflow intuitively and fast. This allows the ALPHA II to be easily operated by personnel with little spectroscopic experience, while also offering all the functions a spectroscopy expert desires.
The design of the ALPHA II's hardware and software is highly integrated for intuitive and comfortable operation. All spectrometer components are built for continuous availability and a long lifetime. Bruker’s permanently aligned RockSolid interferometer and the reliable diode laser guarantee accurate and precise data acquisition. Due to the CenterGlow IR-source technology and a temperature-controlled DTGS detector, the ALPHA II provides consistently high performance, independent of ambient temperature and for many years. The need for maintenance is minimized, and running costs are kept very low due to the long lifetime of relevant components like the interferometer, IR source, and laser.
The ALPHA II - Platinum includes the Platinum-ATR Universal sampling module that facilitates the analysis of virtually any liquid and solid sample, independent from its shape and composition. For most samples the measurement is performed without sample preparation and without the need of any consumables. To record the IR-spectrum any sample just has to be brought into contact with the ATR measurement interface. Next to powders and films the universal high pressure clamp even allows the analysis of particularly hard specimen, like polymer pellets/ granules, and variably shaped parts.
Measurement times are typically below 1 minute. The measurement interface of the ALPHA-Platinum is a diamond ATR crystal with a very high mechanical and chemical robustness. Therefore, the Platinum-ATR sampling module has a lifetime of >10 years.
A wide range of QuickSnap sampling modules is available for the ALPHA II, providing a perfectly matching measurement setup for a large variety of samples and applications. With the push of a button, the exchange of the sampling modules is performed quickly and easily.
The PermaSure function automatically recognizes each change of the setup and performs a quick self-test ensuring a proper instrument performance. Suitable measurement settings for the used configuration are automatically loaded. The PerformanceGuard continuously monitors the spectrometer
