This Shimadzu FTIR-8400S Spectrometer is in good shape. ATR accessory sold separately. A 90 day warranty is included.
The Shimadzu FTIR-8400S is combined with the IRsolution – a 32 bit high performance FTIR software – to analyze your samples easily and securely. With a maximum resolution of 0.85cm-1, the FTIR-8400S achieves the best signal-to-noise ratio in its price-class by 20,000:1 or better (peak-to-peak, 4cm-1 resolution, averaged over 1 minute). Designed with the user in mind, this instrument can be operated using an ordinary desktop or a laptop PC.
Dynamic alignment ensures reproducibility by maintaining optimum alignment
Highly precise control of the moving mirror is required to stabilize the interferogram of the FTIR instrument. The FTIR-8400S includes the patented FJS system – very smooth and precise moving mirror unit – and the Dynamic Alignment system to optimize and stabilize the interferometer unit. FTIR-8400S requires only a short stabilization time and is very secure.
Dynamic Alignment (Patented)
This System monitors the interferometer condition of He-Ne laser and compares it with that of optimized conditions. Any detected discrepancies by DSP system are corrected by automatic alignment of the piezo actuators at the fixed mirror.
The Dynamic Alignment Advantage
Optimal interferometer alignment is maintained automatically for continuous optimization and exceptional reproducibility.
The Signal-to-Noise Advantage
Peak-to-Peak S/N ratio is 20,000:1 or better, guaranteed!
The Simplicity Advantage
New FTIR operators will love the quick-start function that prompts the user through every action from setting scan parameters and acquiring the spectrum, to detecting peaks and printing.
The IRsolution Advantage
Powerful IRsolution software offers a myriad of standard data processing functions. The management of User group, protection by user name/password, Operation log recording, and Electric Signature supports the FDA 21 CFR Part 11.(note1)
The Validation Advantage
The software validates instrument performance to ensure compliance based on Japanese/European Pharmacopoeia and ASTM. The instrument and data reliability are ensured by GLP/GMP and FDA 21 CFR Part 11 compliance.
