Product Overview
The PIKE Hydraulic Die is the standard for producing high-quality, 13 mm diameter pellets for transmission FTIR. Designed to be used with a 15-ton hydraulic press, this die is manufactured from hardened stainless steel with highly polished mirror-finished anvils. This ensures that the resulting pellets have perfectly flat, transparent surfaces, which is critical for minimizing light scattering and achieving a high signal-to-noise ratio.A key feature of this die set is the vacuum port, which allows for the evacuation of air during the compression process. Removing air from the KBr/sample mixture prevents the formation of "cloudy" pellets and ensures long-term stability of the disc. This die is the essential tool for any laboratory performing serious quantitative or qualitative work via transmission spectroscopy
