Description
The Agilent 4500 Series Portable FTIR Spectrometers are portable analyzers that support efforts associated with at site analysis of incoming materials and outgoing finished products in the chemical, food and polymer industries. They are also ideal for proactive maintenance programs of high value equipment and machinery in construction and power production industries. Exceedingly compact, easy to use and rugged, it is a perfect match for applications that require high quality answers quickly. The combination of optics designed for reliability in non-lab environments, innovative sampling interfaces and fit-for-purpose software provides answers for liquid and solid samples at the sample site.
Fully integrated, portable FTIR
At the heart of the system is a unique, rugged interferometer, field-proven to be used in challenging environments. The internal components are mounted on shock-dampening platforms to protect the components from damage in the field, making this one of the most rugged spectrometers available. Use the 4500 Series FTIR to easily perform spectroscopic analyses on a range of liquids, powders, pastes and gels. Simply press a button to obtain valuable information about the identity and amount of chemical substances present in a material. Using the 4500 Series FTIR, you can:
- Monitor product quality.
- Determine if ingredients in a mixture are at the proper levels.
- Assess quality of incoming raw materials.
- Identify contaminants.
Simple to use — no training required
With the innovative sampling interface of the 4500 Series FTIR, no sample preparation is required. Perform measurements in less than 2 minutes and clean up in seconds — so you can spend your valuable time doing other things. The software and user interface are intuitive, with no technical training required to use the system.
Specific systems for your samples
The 4500 Series FTIR offers three sampling systems tailored to different types of analysis. If you need to quickly and easily determine the identity and/or quantity of components in a liquid, choose the 4500t or 4500 DialPath, containing TumblIR and DialPath technology sampling systems respectively. Simply place a drop on the lower window and rotate the top window into place to encompass the liquid — get a reproducible pathlength every time.
The 4500t is ideal for quantifying minor components in a liquid. For analyzing and measuring virtually any type of solid, paste or gel substance, select the 4500a, featuring a diamond ATR (Attenuated Total Reflectance) sampling system. Just place the substance on the diamond window and take the measurement. A pressure device ensures that powders and solids uniformly contact the diamond, providing the best possible quality information.
