Outperforming most radial ICP spectrometers, this machine utilizes the ACE-21 quality design criteria and provides excellent detection limits and precision for a variety of applications.
Multi-layer coatings analysed in seconds
The GD-Profiler Series RF Glow Discharge OES Instruments from Jobin Yvon can characterise multiple layer conducting and non-conducting coatings.
New features for the LabRAM IR2 series include full FTIR mapping capabilities, a breakthrough made possible through the use of the company's LabSPEC 5 software - a modular kernel based design concept pioneered by Horiba Jobin Yvon for Raman mapping.
This capability is unique to Horiba Jobin Yvon and represents a significant step forward for combined confocal Raman and FTIR analysis.
So where previously only single spot FTIR measurements have been available, for the first time a complete 2D chemical image derived from both Raman and FTIR spectral information can be obtained.
The SameSPOT technology ensures that optical, Raman and FTIR images are generated from the exact same sample position.
The new FTIR unit has improved imaging functions, smaller IR objectives for easier operation and automated aperturing for spatial filtering control.
It can also be added as an upgrade to many existing LabRAM Raman microscopes.
The LabRAM ARAMIS IR2 version of the instrument is especially well matched to analytical applications as it has complete system automation and control of laser selection, grating exchange, and imaging functions.
The system can accommodate a range of temperature and humidity cells so that polarised light microscopy (PLM), Raman and FTIR can be used to study important applications such as pharmaceutical polymorphism and salt screening.
Further applications for the systems include forensic science, museum conservation, polymer science, materials characterisation and contamination analysis.
