Equipment

ICP / IR Spectrometer / Auto-titrator / Thin Section Equipment / Microwave Digestor


*Thermo Jarrell Ash IRIS ICP (Inductively Coupled Plasma Spectrometer)

* Thermo Jarrell Ash IRIS ICP: The IRIS Optical Emission Spectrometer is in the family of inductively coupled argon plasma (ICAP) optical emission spectrometers (OES) which use Echelle optics and a unique Charge Injection Device (CID) solid state detector to provide complete and continuous wavelength coverage over the typical analytical wavelength range. The IRIS is equipped with Radial Plasma for the widest range of applications. To schedule a time to have your samples run on our ICP, please go HERE.

*Perkin Elmer Infrared Spectrometer with Microscope Accessory

*Perkin Elmer Infrared Spectrometer System 2000. The Spectrometer comes equipped with a standard DTGS detector, a liquid Nitrogen cooled MCT detector, and a far infrared FR-DTGS with a polyethylene window.

Accessories

*A brand new Perkin Elmer Autoimage Microscope equipped with a MCT detector has been added to the Infrared Spectrometer. The microscope includes a camera and viewing system that magnifies the visable-light image of the sample so that you can see, position and isolate the point of interest. Spectra can be collected in transmittance or reflectance mode. The microscope also comes equipped with an ATR crystal with a tip size of 100um.

* Spectra-tech ATR Crystals: (Attenuated Total Reflectance Spectroscopy) There are 3 types of ZnSe crystals. Coupled with the ARK, there is a 45 degree ZnSe trough crystal with powder press and a 45 degree ZnSe crystal in a flow through cell (picture). There is also a ZnSe Circle Cell with flow through option.

* Perkin Elmer DRIFT Accessory: (Diffuse Reflectance Accessory-picture): The Diffuse Reflectance Accessory provides a convenient and sensitive method for analyzing opaque or highly scattering solid samples such as pharmaceuticals, food products, soap powders, coal, clay, paper, painted surfaces, polymer foam, and catalysts. Fast, reproducible measurement; no alignment. Flexibility for different sample holders to accommodate macro- and microsampling cups, silicon carbide abrasive pads, and diamond abrasive sampling sticks.
