Features of FTIR/NIR Spectrophotometer

FTIR Spectrophotometer Features including:

1. High sensitivity optical system: cube-corner Michelson interferometer combined with patented fixing mirror alignment technology
2. High stability modular partition design, greatly improves the mechanical stability and long-term working stability of the instrument.
3. Innovated integration electronic system, high sensitivity pyroelectric detector pre-amplifier technology, dynamic gain amplification technology, high precision 24-bit A/D conversion technology, real-time control and data processing technology, digital filter, and network communication technology, ensuring high quality real-time data collection and high-speed transmission.
4. High intensity IR source assembly: High intensity, long lifetime IR source module, with the highest energy distributed in the fingerprint region, adopts a reflex sphere design to obtain even and stable IR radiation.  External isolated IR source modules and large space heat dissipation chamber designs provide higher thermal stability and stable optical interference.

NIR Spectrophotometer Features including:

1. Suitable for a wide range of sample types, such as granules, flakes, powders, pastes, moisture, crude fat, crude protein, crude fiber, crude ash etc.
2. Fast analysis, results within 3/10/30 seconds.
3. Easy operation: no special training, no sample pretreatment, no sample destruction.
4. Software applicable to different management permissions.
5. Reliable results – for most analyses, NIR instruments have a prediction accuracy within 1.5 times of the reference method error with much better precision.
6. Cost effective – one analyst can typically analyze several hundred samples in a day with no consumable costs.

Applications of FTIR Spectrophotometer

1. Identification of known objects.
2. Structure identification of unknowns.
3. Quantitative analysis of special materials.
4. Micro-infrared can analyze trace substances such as residues on the surface of the product, powder/liquid precipitated on the surface, suspected oxidation, corrosion, foreign matter, and introduction of foreign components on the surface of the product.

Among them, FTIR has an excellent performance in determining the consistency of polymer materials.

Applications of NIR Spectrophotometer

Typical applications of NIR spectroscopy include the analysis of food, pharmaceuticals, petrochemical, combustion products, and a major branch of astronomical spectroscopy.

1. Astronomical Spectroscopy

Near-infrared spectroscopy is used in astronomy for studying the atmospheres of cool stars where molecules can form. The vibrational and rotational signatures of molecules such as titanium oxide, cyanide, and carbon monoxide can be seen in this wavelength range and can give a clue towards the star’s spectral type. It is also used for studying molecules in other astronomical contexts, such as in molecular clouds where new stars are formed. The astronomical phenomenon known as reddening means that near-infrared wavelengths are less affected by dust in the interstellar medium, such that regions inaccessible by optical spectroscopy can be studied in the near-infrared. Since dust and gas are strongly associated, these dusty regions are exactly those where infrared spectroscopy is most useful.

2. Agriculture

Near-infrared spectroscopy is widely applied in agriculture for determining the quality of forages, grains, and grain products, oilseeds, coffee, tea, spices, fruits, vegetables, sugarcane, beverages, fats, and oils, dairy products, eggs, meat, and other agricultural products. It is widely used to quantify the composition of agricultural products because it meets the criteria of being accurate, reliable, rapid, non-destructive, and inexpensive. Abeni and Bergoglio 2001 apply NIRS to chicken breeding as the assay method for characteristics of fat composition.

3. Materials Science

Techniques have been developed for NIR spectroscopy of microscopic sample areas for film thickness measurements, research into the optical characteristics of nanoparticles and optical coatings for the telecommunications industry.

4. Medical Uses

The application of NIRS in medicine centres on its ability to provide information about the oxygen saturation of haemoglobin within the microcirculation. Broadly speaking, it can be used to assess oxygenation and microvascular function in the brain (cerebral NIRS) or in the peripheral tissues (peripheral NIRS).

5. Particle Measurement

NIR is often used in particle sizing in a range of different fields, including studying pharmaceutical and agricultural powders.

6. Industrial Uses

As opposed to NIRS used in optical topography, general NIRS used in chemical assays does not provide imaging by mapping. For example, a clinical carbon dioxide analyzer requires reference techniques and calibration routines to be able to get accurate CO2 content change. In this case, calibration is performed by adjusting the zero control of the sample being tested after purposefully supplying 0% CO2 or another known amount of CO2 in the sample. Normal compressed gas from distributors contains about 95% O2 and 5% CO2, which can also be used to adjust %CO2 meter reading to be exactly 5% at initial calibration.
