Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) Spectroscopy
Model Name: FTIR-4X
Manufacturer: JASCO International Co. Ltd., Japan
About the FTIR Facility
The JASCO FTIR-4X is a high-performance Fourier Transform Infrared spectrometer designed for precise qualitative and quantitative characterization of molecular structures across a wide spectral range. Engineered with a superior signal-to-noise ratio of 35000:1 and integrated with a temperature-controlled DLATGS detector, the system ensures exceptional analytical stability and reproducibility. The FTIR-4X is ideally suited for routine and research-grade analysis of powders, thin films, polymers, ceramics, liquids, and other solid-state materials (excluding gases). Its robust optical design and sealed interferometer architecture provide long-term operational reliability in demanding laboratory environments.
