MOBILE-IR II FT-IR Spectrometer

The Bruker MOBILE-IR II is a ruggedized, battery-powered FT-IR analyzer designed to deliver high-performance chemical identification of solids and liquids in off-grid and outdoor environments.

Product Overview

The Bruker MOBILE-IR II bridges the gap between laboratory-grade spectroscopy and field-ready portability. Encased in a durable, vibration-damped metal housing with an IP65 rating, this spectrometer is specifically engineered to withstand dust ingress and water exposure, making it the premier choice for mobile laboratories and environmental emergency response. At its core lies the wear-free RockSolid™ interferometer, providing permanent alignment and unmatched stability during transport and operation in challenging outdoor conditions.

Operation is optimized for field speed and accuracy, utilizing a high-sensitivity, thermoelectrically cooled (TE) MCT detector that eliminates the need for liquid nitrogen while maintaining exceptional data quality. The integrated Diamond-ATR interface features a high-pressure clamp and software-controlled heating, allowing for the rapid, non-destructive analysis of virtually any chemical material. Controlled via a ruggedized, daylight-readable touch tablet, the MOBILE-IR II utilizes automated, step-by-step workflows and extensive spectral databases to provide immediate, actionable results wherever they are needed most.
