Spectrum Two FT-IR Spectrometer
Model: Spectrum TwoA benchtop FT-IR for everyday analysis: 8300 – 350 cm⁻¹ covers mid-IR and extends into near-IR, with resolution better than 0.5 cm⁻¹ and an integrated universal sampling compartment that takes ATR accessories plug-and-play. The Dynascan interferometer needs no alignment and OpticsGuard protects the optics from humidity, so the 13 kg unit works on the bench and on site.
