About

Location: Jesser Hall 162

Bruker Invenio-S FTIR spectrometer for compound identification and the determination of sample chemistry/molecular bonding for solids, films, powders, liquids, and suspensions.

Bruker FTIR Technique Summary:

  • Nondestructive interferometric compositional measurement of molecular vibrational modes
  • Minimal or no sample preparation required
  • Single-reflection attenuated total reflectance (ATR) for measurement of surface properties of solids, thin film samples (approx. 0.5-2 microns), and liquids
  • Transmission spectroscopy for characterization of IR-transparent films
  • Diffuse reflectance spectroscopy with Pike Technologies EasyDiff accessory for compositional analysis of powders and rough surfaces
  • OPUS 8.0 integrated evaluation, data processing (identification and quantification) and report generation software with spectral library
  • Variable spot size: 0.25 - 8 mm diameter

Bruker Invenio-S FTIR Features:

  • Spectral range of 8000 - 350 cm-1 with resolution 0.4 - 256 cm-1 (adjustable)
  • MIR Globar with CenterGlow IR source, KBr windows, and high-sensitivity temperature-controlled DLaTGS-detector
  • Aluminum mirrors for future expansion to UV-Vis
  • Wavenumber accuracy: < 0.01 cm-1 @ 1,554 cm-1
  • Repeatability: < 0.0005 cm-1 @ 1,554 cm-1
  • Photometric accuracy: < 0.1%
  • Scan speed: 6 velocities; 1.4 - 51 mm/sec opd
  • Aquisition rate: up to 25 spectra per second @16 cm-1 resolution
  • Integrated reference materials and automated test routines.
  • Compliant with Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) requirements.
  • Sample Compartment Size: 25.5 (W) x 27 cm (D) x 22.5 cm (H)
