IRTracer-100 - Особенности

Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrophotometer

Excellent Sensitivity and Reliability

New Levels of Performance and Quality Created by Excellent Sensitivity, Speed and Resolution

High Sensitivity, High Resolution and High Speed

The IRTracer-100 features the highest SN ratio in its class, 0.25cm-1 resolution, and high-speed scanning capable of 20 spectra/second.

High-Sensitivity Measurements, with the highest SN Ratio

Trace a mounts of silicone oil in paraffin oil were measured using the IRTracer-100 and a single-reflection ATR accessory.
Even the very weak peak (1260 cm-1) from the silicone, with a mere 0.00015 Abs, was measured with a high SN ratio.

Remarks:

  • Difference spectrum obtained by subtracting the paraffin spectrum
  • Measured with a resolution of 4 cm-1, using the DLATGS detector

Acquire High-Resolution Spectra with a 0.25cm-1 Resolution Setting

Highly accurate quantitation and identification can be achieved with 0.25 cm-1 resolution. For example, this resolution is suitable for the detailed analysis of each peak in a gas sample. When ammonia gas was run at 0.25 cm-1 resolution, peaks in the 805 – 810 and 785 – 790 cm-1 ranges were clearly resolved.

Achieve High-Speed Analysis with a 20 Hz Rapid Scan Feature*1

The rapid scan function allows a maximum of 20 spectra per second to be obtained. This makes the IRTracer-100 suitable for fast reactions that occur within a few seconds and for kinetic studies occurring in less than one second. Rapid, high-sensitivity analysis is available.

Reliable High Performance

An automatic dehumidifier and advanced dynamic alignment enable easy maintenance of the interferometer.

The IRTracer-100's interferometer is optimized and stabilized using a combination of a smooth moving mirror system and the Advanced Dynamic Alignment. To assure that the IRTracer-100 is always in the optimum operating condition, a self diagnoses routine monitors the operation of the system at initialization and constantly during operation In addition, standard EP/CHP/JP/USP/ASTM validation programs are provided to evaluate the FTIR performance.

Incorporation with Advanced Dynamic Alignment

Achieving reproducible optical interference in a spectrophotometer requires a robust interferometer design. The interferometer in the IRTracer-100 easily meets this requirement. The smooth moving mirror system monitored by the Advanced Dynamic Alignment system allows the IRTracer-100 to provide optimum and stable quality spectra after only a short warm-up time. Sampling at over 5000 times /second the Advanced Dynamic Alignment keeps the IRTracer-100 in optimum operating condition. In addition, the Advanced Dynamic Alignment system automatically aligns the interferometer when the beam splitter is changed for NIR or FIR analysis.

Four Benefits of Advanced Dynamic Alignment

■ Removes the influence of environmental variations
■ Allows the FTIR to be powered off when not in use*2 (saving electricity and reducing the environmental impact)
■ Shorter warm-up times and enhanced stability
■ Provides for a maintenance-free system

*2 Automatic Dehumidifier is working.

 

Built-in Automatic Dehumidifier Allows for Easy Maintenance

Beam splitters used in FTIR interferometers are susceptible to humidity. In order to maintain the long-term stability of the interferometer, the beam splitter must be protected from moisture. To address this issue, the IRTracer-100 has been engineered with an airtight interferometer that incorporates a unique internal Automatic Dehumidifier.

  • Operate with LabSolutions, Shimadzu's reliable and popular workstation used in chromatography and spectroscopic analysis.
  • Solid Security

LabSolutions DB IR

LabSolutions DB IR allows for secure data management by integrating a data management function with LabSolutions IR. Compliant with ER/ES regulations, the software is optimally configured for customers using a PC. It is recommended for facilities that do not require network connections and want to be ER/ES compliant.

LabSolutions CS IR

LabSolutions CS, which is freely accessible to the analysis network, can be connected to IR, eliminating the need for connecting a PC to the instrument. Since all the data are managed on a server, LabSolutions CS IR can be read from any personal computer on a network. With terminal service, LabSolutions IR can be controlled from a client PC without installing LabSolutions IR on it. It is recommended for facilities that have a large number of users, manage data in a database, and want to be ER/ES compliant.

Database Management Prevents Mistakes

With LabSolutions DB IR and CS IR, the analysis data are managed securely by the database. Overwriting, deletion and other mistakes typical of data file management do not occur. In addition, when postrun analysis is performed using the acquired data, postrun analysis data revision numbers are automatically assigned, preventing the accidental overwriting of raw data.

Solid Security

An audit trail to ensure the reliability of data and document e-mail transmission functions when any event occurs in the system can be set up. User accounts are managed using passwords, where password length, complexity and term of validity must satisfy specified requirements. It is also possible to set lockout functions to prevent illegal access, and set a registered user’s deletion and change. In addition, a box can be selected to prevent overwriting a data file, and outputting an item to a report can also be performed.

Pertinent Information is Managed for Every Project

LabSolutions DB IR and CS IR provide a project management function enabling management suited to tasks and system operations. This function enables equipment and user management, security policy, and data processing to be set on a project by project basis, thereby improving the efficiency of data searches and management tasks.

Visualization of the Sequence of Analysis Operations

Creating a report set* provides visibility of the individual analytical operations involved in the overall analytical process. When analytical operations are visible, it is easier to check for operating errors, which helps improve the efficiency and reliability of checking processes.
* Report sets include test methods and test results for a series of samples analyzed, and also a corresponding operation log (a record of all operating events from login to logout), which is automatically extracted from the data and summarized in a single report.
