Product Overview
The PIKE Abrasion Sampling Kit provides a clever solution for analyzing materials that are too large, hard, or difficult to prepare for standard FTIR techniques. By simply rubbing a specialized abrasive disc against the sample surface, a small amount of the material is captured on the disc. This disc is then placed in the FTIR diffuse reflectance accessory for immediate analysis, eliminating the need for cutting, grinding, or pelletizing.This kit is particularly useful for in-situ analysis of large objects like automotive parts, painted surfaces, or large mineral specimens. It includes a variety of silicon carbide and diamond-coated discs to handle different material hardness levels. It is a non-destructive alternative (to the bulk sample) that provides high-quality spectra with minimal effort, making it a favorite for forensic and industrial troubleshooting
