ACTTR Technology brought to you the ARCoptix spectrometer, with rugged & portable features, in addition to the advantage of USB power supply, compares to other products,ARCoptix Rocket series also has with the Swiss state-of-art with the features of high-precision, calibration free benefits. It is a affordable with very good quality Fourier transform near infrared spectrometer.

The following video shows you how ARCoptix FTIR product is using for diffuse reflection measurements. Diffuse reflectance measurements has high flexibility to the sample. It will not limited by the size nor the appearance of the sample, after calibration of sensitivity, measurement can be started immediately. Within a few seconds, you can get the IR properties of the substance.

ARCoptix IR Spectrometer Setup for Diffuse Reflection Measurement

Requirements

  1. ARCoptix infrared spectrometer (FT-NIR, FT-IR, FT-MIR)
  2. USB cable Type-A (male) - Type-B (male), used to connect an infrared spectrometer and your computer (laptop or desktop machine)
  3. The light source and power supply
  4. It applies to diffuse the Y-fiber tube with the probe.
  5. Sample

For the equipment list, you can watch the video at 0 '15 "

Installation

  1. The USB cable Type-B (square connector) end into the Rocket Series spectrometers, other Type-A male end into the computer. (0 '41 ").
  2. Open source and after the test, the end of the Y-connector end of the line of non-probe, fiber plum-shaped head, and is connected to the light source. (1 '17 ")
  3. Circular end of the fiber head, connected to ARCoptix near infrared spectrometer. (1 '35 ")
  4. About a minute to complete the installation (or removal work). Installation process, with the desktop products, compared the infrared spectrometer, will not spend much time.

Calibration

  1. Pepare diffuse reflectance calibration standards
  2. Open ARCoptix infrared spectrometer dedicated software
  3. Press the scan button, measuring IR
  4. At the same time repeatedly adjust light intensity, and the zoom range option to adjust the crest does not enter the saturated condition.
  5. The correct reading value is set as a benchmark, that is, do zero action. Press the light bulb button to complete.
  6. Finally, press the T button to start transmissive measurement function, then press it again spectral scanning, it has been determined to zero success.

Start Measurement

Finally, attach the probe onto the sample for analysis. Press the T button in the software, you can obtain infrared spectra characteristics of the material.
