ZINC SELENIDE ATR ACCESSORY

FOR THE AGILENT CARY 630 FTIR

For fast data collection, lower noise, and superior quality

Attenuated Total Reflectance (ATR) is the most common sampling technique used
in infrared spectroscopy because it is easy-to-use and provides high-quality spectra
without requiring sample preparation. ATR can be used to measure solids, liquids,
or gels, and is offered in various configurations based on crystal types.

The unique design of the Agilent Cary 630 FTIR and the Agilent single reflection
Zinc Selenide ATR accessory (ZnSe ATR) increases energy throughput compared
to other routine FTIR systems and provides better sensitivity for lower limits of
detection and faster data collection. 2

How does it work?


The Agilent ZnSe ATR has been specifically designed to work with the Cary 630 FTIR,
ensuring the highest quality spectra. It provides enhanced quantitative and qualitative
information for most samples. The ZnSe crystal produces the widest transmission
window for complete spectra in general applications.
