Question 1

Features

Accepted Answer

Rugged, portable FTIR spectrometer.
Delivers reliable high-quality answers in non-lab environments.
Dedicated fixed sampling interfaces can be selected to optimize performance. Choose from the 4500a ATR (attenuated total reflectance) interface for the chemical analysis of liquids, powders, pastes, and gels, or the TumblIR (4500t) or DialPath interfaces for the rapid chemical analysis of liquids under ambient conditions.
One, three, or five reflection-diamond ATRs are available, depending on the application.
Special forensics analyzer package (4500a) identifies unknown substances, including narcotics and psychoactive substances.
Get the longer pathlength capabilities of transmission FTIR spectroscopy in a format that is as easy to use as ATR: the 4500 DialPath analyzer has a unique cell-less interface design.
The 4500t enables high sample throughput: simply wipe the two windows to prepare the device for the next sample.
Method-driven MicroLab FTIR software is designed to deliver what you need—clear, actionable answers. Intuitive, method-driven, multi-language software guides users through every step of operation, while optional settings such as hazard or color-coded alerts help users with the result review.

Question 3

How It Works

Accepted Answer

4500 FTIR—lab quality in the field
Be it for fuel and oil analysis off-shore, environmental sample analysis onsite or even narcotic identification at the scene, the 4500 FTIR spectrometer delivers the data quality of a benchtop instrument. Paired with its field design (rugged system with inbuilt battery) and ease of use, the 4500 FTIR is the perfect solution for your field needs.
Simply select the best sampling interface for your application
With the innovative sampling interface of the 4500 Series FTIR, no sample preparation is required. Perform measurements in less than 2 minutes and clean up in seconds—so you can spend your valuable time doing other things.
To quickly and easily determine the identity and/or quantity of components in a liquid, choose the 4500t TumblIR or 4500 DialPath. For analyzing and measuring virtually any type of solid, paste or gel substance, select the 4500a, featuring a diamond ATR (attenuated total reflectance) sampling system.
Ease of use extended to software
MicroLab PC software, operating on a standard laptop or ruggedized tablet, is designed to be simple and straightforward for untrained novices and experts alike. With a picture guided workflow that navigates the user through every step of the analysis, MicroLab performs all calculations and presents results that are easy to understand in a highly tailorable manner.

Question 4

Applications

Accepted Answer

Ease and reliability, whatever the application
The 4500 FTIR is optimized for a variety of in-field applications. Designed for outdoor environments, this instrument delivers consistently meaningful results in applications including narcotics identification, petrochemical analysis, food adulteration, polymer quality, and many more. Simply select the best sampling interface for your desired application.
Portable narcotics identification
Accurate identification of narcotics, precursors and cutting agents is critical for a range of decisions across counter narcotics operations. FTIR spectroscopy is a proven, powerful technology for the analysis of illegal substances and potentially hazardous compounds. The 4500a portable FTIR spectrometer can help you identify an unknown liquid or solid substance at the scene in less than one minute, with little or no sample preparation required.

Question 5

Technology

Accepted Answer

ATR-FTIR Spectroscopy
Attenuated total reflectance (ATR) is the most widely used sampling methodology for Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. ATR-FTIR quickly and easily measures a broad range of sample types, including liquids, solids, powders, semisolids, and pastes. Learn about how ATR-FTIR works, the different types of ATR sampling accessories available, and their applications.
Transmission FTIR Spectroscopy
Transmission FTIR mode is suitable for liquids, gases, powders, and films. Learn about how transmission FTIR spectroscopy works, the different types of transmission FTIR sampling accessories available, and their applications.
