UATR Polarization Accessory for Spectrum One (1 Reflection)

Attenuated total reflectance (ATR) techniques offer a convenient alternative to thin-film, KBr pellet or diffuse reflectance measurements. The Universal ATR Accessory offers straightforward analysis of most sample types with a minimum of sample preparation. The polarization measurements additionally offered by the UATR Polarization Accessory give additional information on the molecular structure of a sample, particularly the crystal or molecular orientation.

With the UATR Polarization Accessory, the user is able to:

• Analyze a variety of samples with minimal sample preparation
• Utilize the live spectral preview mode and force readout in Spectrum software to ensure good, reproducible contact with the crystal
• Collect spectra of materials with a variable-angle polarizer by selecting the desired angle

The UATR Polarization Accessory is designed for:

• Crystal structure analysis
• Polymer and fiber orientation studies
• Structural studies of biomolecules such as proteins

Features of the UATR Polarization Accessory include:

• Automatic recognition - as soon as the accessory is placed in the sample compartment the Universal ATR Polarization module is recognized along with its unique number, and system suitability checks can be carried out.
• Zero alignment, zero set-up - once locked into the instrument, the system is ready to be used without any alignment necessary.
• Integration - the plug-in module design means the accessory becomes an integral part of the instrument once installed.
