Accessories and Attachments

Selection of Accessories

The most suitable VIR system can be configured, by selecting accessories matched with applications required. The newly developed MultiChamberIR attachment allows the users to switch three measurement modes from transmittance, ATR and DR in one attachment. Such multi-measurement modes in one attachment are best suited to incoming inspection of variable samples such as powder, solid and liquid.

Combination with MultiChambIR Attachment

Up to three measurement modes in one attachment

External connection optics allows the users to install up to three attachments in one system and to use each attachment simply by switching. Furthermore, Universal optical base enables the users to configure freely customized optics by simply putting mirrors and sample holders onto the base. Therefore, even a large sample or an attachment which cannot fit in the ordinary compartment, can be applied.

Combination with External connection optics

A wide variety of measurement attachment is available. Furthermore, Universal optical base allows the users to configure freely customized optics by simply putting mirrors and sample holders onto the bench.

Name of Attachment	Main Application / Feature
SmartTech Attachment	Qualitative measurement of powder and solid sample
Fiber Interface Attachment	Process monitoring
Long Path Gas Cell Attachment	Quantification of gas concentration
Single Reflectance ATR Attachment	Surface analysis of powder, solid and liquid sample
NIR Specular Reflectance Attachment	Non-destructive measurement of food and medicine
IRT-1000 Micro IR Attachment	Foreign object
Autosampler Attachment	High throughput analysis of drugs, etc.
Transmission Measurement Attachment	Qualitative / quantitative analysis of film sample
MultiChambIR Attachment	Three measurement modes (Transmittance/reflectance, diffusive reflectance and ATR) in one attachment

System Configuration Examples - according to specified purpose

Dedicated accessory configurations include gas cells, microscopes, NIR fiber optics, and open path analyzers. The MPS sample compartment allows connection to commercially available FT-IR accessories. The system is designed for high performance in the laboratory and in the field.

External connection optics

Qualitative, surface and quantitative analysis can be carried out in one system.
