Product Overview
The PIKE GC-FTIR Accessory provides a powerful hyphenated technique that combines the separation capabilities of Gas Chromatography with the molecular identification power of FTIR. This interface is designed to capture the infrared spectra of eluting components in real-time as they exit the GC column. It is an essential tool for forensic labs, flavor and fragrance analysis, and environmental testing where isomer identification is critical.The heart of the accessory is a heated light pipe, which is gold-coated to ensure maximum sensitivity and chemical inertness. The high-temperature capability prevents high-boiling compounds from condensing, maintaining the integrity of the GC separation. This accessory allows for the seamless integration of a GC with a standard FTIR spectrometer, turning a standard instrument into a sophisticated chemical identification system
Key Features
- Real-Time Identification: Captures molecular "fingerprints" of separated GC peaks.
- Heated Light Pipe: Prevents sample condensation for high-boiling point analytes.
- Gold-Coated Optics: Maximizes signal-to-noise for trace component detection.
- Isomer Distinction: Successfully identifies isomers that are difficult to distinguish by Mass Spec.
- Universal GC Interface: Compatible with most major GC and FTIR brands
