PIKE UpIR – Upward-Looking Diffuse Reflectance Accessory

A unique "up-looking" diffuse reflectance accessory designed for the effortless analysis of large, flat samples and powders

Product Overview

The PIKE UpIR redefines convenience in diffuse reflectance (DRIFTS) spectroscopy. By placing the sampling port on the top of the accessory, it allows users to simply place a sample face-down over the opening. This is exceptionally useful for large, flat objects such as coated metal plates, polymer sheets, or silicon wafers that cannot be easily cut or fit into standard DRIFTS holders.For powder analysis, the UpIR allows the use of glass vials or beakers placed directly on the sampling window, making cleanup as simple as removing the container. The optical design is based on high-efficiency gold-coated mirrors, ensuring maximum energy throughput and sensitivity. The UpIR is the perfect choice for high-volume labs where ease of use and rapid sample turnaround are the primary goals

Key Features

  • Inverted Optical Path: Upward-looking design for "place and measure" simplicity.
  • Large Sample Capacity: Effectively accommodates samples of almost any size or shape.
  • Minimal Cleanup: Analyze powders through vials to eliminate accessory contamination.
  • High Signal-to-Noise: Optimized gold-coated optics for superior Mid-IR performance.
  • Non-Destructive: Ideal for analyzing finished products without sample alteration
