IR analysis ... seeing is believing

Available from SensIR Europe, the DuraScope™ is an in-compartment FT-IR accessory that unites the imaging capabilities of video microscopy with the versatility and simplicity of diamond ATR infrared analysis.

The most important factor in ATR analysis is contact between the sample and the infrared reflection element. With this powerful, integrated imaging and analysis system you see your sample through the DiComp™ sensor, ensuring both its accurate placement on, and consistent contact with, the diamond ATR element's surface. The result is unsurpassed measurement accuracy and repeatability from a technological advance that gives you complete confidence in your FT-IR analysis.

The DuraScope is truly a breakthrough tool that simplifies your analytical methods. Compatible with all commercial FT-IR systems the benefits of the DuraScope are available to everyone. A choice of Diamond ATR elements with single or multi-reflection capability provide the sensitivity for high-performance analysis of demanding sample types including hard materials, abrasives, corrosives, gels and pastes even using a standard dTGS detector. Operation to 650 cm-1 is provided with optional ZnSe and to 230 cm-1 with optional KRS-5 DiComp sensors (limited only by spectrometer configuration).

The small sample area of the diamond Infrared reflection element means very small volumes are required for analysis and assures consistent sample contact with the crystal. With the integrated, easy-to-use sample compression device and electronic LED pressure gauge, the DuraScope is easily customised to best address sample-handling requirements across a broad range of sample types. The DuraScope provides all these features in a durable, easy-to-use device.
