gilent Technologies has introduced a next- generation mobile
spectroscopy product that is designed for on-site testing in a broad range of applications, including advanced materials, art, historical objects, geology, agriculture, composites, coatings and polymers.
Te lightweight, ergonomic 4300 handheld Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrometer enables the direct identification and assessment of high-value materials without sample extraction, making handheld FTIR a true non- destructive testing solution.
Tirty-five per cent lighter than its predecessor, the 4300 FTIR
offers the performance, mobility, flexibility and user comfort that Agilent says has never before been attained in a handheld FTIR device.
“We believe this handheld FTIR is a game-changer for the mobile FTIR field,” said Phil Binns, Agilent’s vice president and managing director of spectroscopy. “Not only is it portable and compact, but its advanced ergonomics make the system comfortable to use for long periods of time, leading to better-quality data. Users can now get rapid, field-based analyses without any sample preparation, reducing the time to actionable results.”
Two versions of the new FTIR are available: one equipped with a deuterated triglycine sulphate (DTGS) infrared detector that covers a wide range of materials analysis applications; and a high- performance version, equipped with a thermoelectrically cooled
