FTIR Rapid Kinetics

FTIR Rapid Kinetics
This FTIR Rapid Mixing Accessory is supplied as a manual drive unit with a thermostatted supply tube (600mm) and includes a 1mm pathlength sample cell with ZnSe windows and integral mixer, 3" x 2" slide mount, (2) 5ml sample drive syringes and a reservoir syringe. An optional pneumatic drive upgrade is available. Request a catalog for a schedule of UV-Vis and Fluorescence configurations.

The Rapid Kinetics Accessories are unique devices that combines the technique of Spectroscopy with rapid mixing technology to facilitate the easy introduction of sample solutions into an instrument. This series has been designed to meet varying needs of rapid mixing applications including stopped-flow for the spectroscopic monitoring of fast reactions in solutions. The accessories are comprised with a drive unit, thermostatted supply tube and a sample cell with an integral mixer. They are constructed of inert materials where reagent contact occurs and the operator is protected from hazardous chemicals by the sealed sample flow circuit.

The heart of the cell is a high efficiency T format mixer permitting variable ratio mixing from 100 microliters to 5 milliliters and configured for either manual or pneumatic drive operation. The standard two syringe system is capable of precision mixing two solutions within the flow cell. A three syringe multi-mixing system is available for demanding UV-Vis-Fluorescence applications. Variable ratio mixing applications are readily accommodated since the syringes are mounted outside the thermostatically controlled sample circuit, allowing easy and rapid replacement. This also prevents any possibility of leaks at low temperatures.

The IR cell offers a 1mm optical path with Zinc Selenide as the standard window material (alternative pathlengths and window materials are available upon request). A 3" x 2" mount incorporates the connection to the spectrometer.

The UV-Vis-Fluorescence cell features a variable pathlength design and is attained by simply rotating the cell to interchange from 2mm to 10mm paths. It conveniently mounts into a standard 10mm pathlength cuvette holder.

For sensitive thermal studies, the reagent pathway and sample cell temperature can be controlled and monitored from 5 - 80C. Higher and lower temperature versions are available upon request.
