Perkin Elmer has announced a universal attenuated total reflection (ATR) polarisation accessory, designed to offer users the benefits of combining infrared spectroscopy with a polariser.
Polarised measurements provide additional information on the molecular structure of a sample, particularly the crystal or molecular orientation, and help in the accurate characterisation of materials.
The new polarisation accessory is based on the existing Perkin Elmer universal ATR accessory and is particularly suited to applications such as crystal structure analysis, polymer and fibre orientation studies and structural analysis studies of biomolecules.
The variable angle polariser can be removed for non-polarised measurements.
Additional benefits of the UATR accessory include automatic recognition and checking by Spectrum 100 or Spectrum 400 instruments and an easy-clean diamond top-plate.
