4100 ExoScan Series
The 4100 ExoScan™ is a portable, hand-held, battery operated FTIR analyzer designed to measure a wide variety of solid and liquid samples. The instrument contains interchangeable ATR and external reflectance sample interfaces, a PDA based control panel that wirelessly links to a laptop for upload and download of data, methods etc., multi-level software and user interfaces, and a docking station allows the Exoscan to be used in a lab similar to a benchtop FTIR.
