Instruments

Spectrometers for lab,
line and field.

FTIR windows, cells, beamsplitters and ATR crystals we quote to print — plus sourced spectrometer modules when the RFQ is an instrument, not a window.

Optics for the instrument, not a model number.

We quote the parts a spectrometer actually consumes: FTIR windows and cells, beamsplitters, ATR crystals, fiber coupling optics and coating-qualification accessories. Complete UV–VIS or Raman instruments are sourced to a written specification — we do not publish a fake catalogue of SKUs we do not stock.

FTIR windows & cells

KBr, NaCl, CaF2, ZnSe, Ge and Si windows — plane or 0.5° wedge to kill etalon fringes. Demountable liquid cells, gas cells and window pairs to the bench’s slide.

Beamsplitters

KBr (mid-IR), CaF2 (NIR–MIR), ZnSe and far-IR films. Substrate and coating must match the detector and the source — a KBr BS on a wet NIR-only bench is the wrong part.

  • Mid-IRKBr · ZnSe
  • NIR / MIRCaF2 · SiO2

ATR crystals

ZnSe, Ge, Si, diamond and KRS-5 ATR elements, 45° typical, other angles to print. Ge for high-index samples; ZnSe for routine organics; diamond when chemistry attacks everything else.

  • Angle45° typ · specified
  • FacesSingle · multi-bounce

Polarizers & sample optics

IR grid polarizers, KRS-5 and ZnSe plates, off-axis parabolas for sample focusing. Useful when the method is specular reflectance or grazing-angle RAS.

  • PolarizerWire-grid on IR substrate
  • OAPEFL + off-axis angle

Process / fiber couple

Sapphire and fused-silica probe windows, collimators onto SMA/FC, and mid-IR fiber interfaces for online analysis. Same lot discipline as the coated windows on the rest of the site.

Instrument RFQs

Handheld Raman, miniature UV–VIS modules and complete FTIR systems are quoted as sourced equipment when you send wavelength, resolution, detector and environment. Send wavelength, resolution, detector and environment. We quote sourced instruments against that, not a catalogue SKU here.

RFQ

Bench band, then the part.

  • Scan range (cm−1 or nm) and whether the bench is purged
  • Window / ATR / BS — and the OEM accessory P/N if replacing
  • Wedge requirement (fringe control) and clear aperture
  • Sample chemistry (water, acid, solvent) — it kills KBr
  • For an instrument: resolution, detector type, portable vs lab

A window or ATR crystal is a one-page RFQ. A full spectrometer is a specification, not a shopping cart.
