Product Overview
PIKE ATR Performance Standards are essential for maintaining the integrity of your Attenuated Total Reflection (ATR) measurements. Unlike transmission standards, these are designed specifically for the unique evanescent wave interaction of ATR. They provide a known spectral response that can be used to check the crystal's condition, the pressure application consistency, and the overall system throughput.These standards often include specialized polymer films or stable liquids with well-characterized absorbance bands. Regularly using these standards ensures that your ATR accessory is delivering consistent results, which is vital for quantitative work and for troubleshooting any degradation in the crystal surface or the spectrometer's performance
Key Features
- ATR-Specific: Optimized for the evanescent wave properties of ATR crystals.
- Pathlength Verification: Helps ensure consistent effective pathlengths between measurements.
- Crystal Health Check: Quickly identifies scratches or contamination on the ATR crystal.
- Easy to Use: Requires no preparation; just place on the crystal and measure.
- Compliance Ready: Supports GLP and ISO laboratory requirements
