Product type
An infrared spectrophotometer is a scientific instrument used to measure the absorption of infrared light by a sample. It operates by passing infrared radiation through a sample and measuring the intensity of the light that emerges. The resulting spectrum provides information about the molecular composition and structure of the sample, making it a valuable tool in various analytical applications. Typically, these instruments are made from durable materials such as aluminum and glass, with specialized optics to ensure accurate readings.
| Wavelength range | 4000 to 400 cm-1 |
| Resolution | 1 to 4 cm-1 |
| Detector type | Thermal, photoconductive, or photodiode |
| Sample types | Solid, liquid, or gas |
| Data output | Digital or analog formats |
When selecting an infrared spectrophotometer, consider the specific wavelength range and resolution required for your applications. It's important to specify the types of samples you will analyze, as some instruments are better suited for solids, liquids, or gases. Additionally, inquire about the detector type and data output formats that best fit your laboratory's needs. Certifications and compliance with industry standards may also be relevant depending on your application.
