The expanded mirror velocity range of the new generation of research grade spectromete rs also opens the door to measurements from the ultraviolet through the far infrared spectral regions. This is especially advantageous for PAS measurements because the technique's minimal sample preparation requirement and nondestructive capability have always made it applicable in many areas of chemical and biological research. The MTEC 300 is installed by sliding it into the standard FTIR sample slide mount fixture. A purge coupler allows a closed purge path to the detector. Sample insertion and purge operations are controlled by a single lever.
Power is supplied by an international de sk-top power supply.
All of the features of the MTEC 300 including optional diffuse reflectance, transmittance, and microsampling capabilities are unsurpassed in FTIR sampling technologies. This combination of capabilities permits the model 300 to measu re a spectrum of nearly any condensed sample without regard to opacity, surface character, or reflectivity. The spectra produced can be used for both qualitative and quantitative analyses.
