4300 Handheld FTIR Spectrometer
The 4300 Handheld FTIR with DTGS or MCT detectors offers a variety of sampling interfaces: Diffuse Reflectance, External Reflectance, Grazing Angle, Diamond ATR, Ge ATR, and allows an operator to transition from one sample type to another with no alignment or adjustments necessary. The 4300 is water resistant and designed for field use. The thermoelectrically cooled MCT detector is best for applications that require speed and focused libraries.
