Identifying Organic Impurities in Counterfeit and Illicit Tobacco Using Portable ATR-FT-IR Spectroscopy
Counterfeit and illicit tobacco may contain potentially toxic organic impurities that result in adverse health effects to the consumer. The aim of this work was to investigate the feasibility of the identification of organic impurities in counterfeit or illicit tobacco using attenuated total reflectance-Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FT-IR) spectroscopy.

Macro ATR-FT-IR Spectroscopic Imaging of Dynamic Processes
Macro attenuated total reflection (ATR)-Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopic imaging is a powerful analytical tool, but it is still underexploited in the spectroscopic imaging community. This article presents an overview of current macro ATR-FT-IR imaging approaches and opportunities for studying dynamic processes such as diffusion, sorption, crystallization, and dissolution.

More flexibility for all your applications!
Long integration times in general are equivalent to higher dark noise. Avantes Thermo-Electric Cooled (TEC) spectrometers systems overcome this problem by cooling the detector. These recently re-designed instruments are equipped with triple stage cooling, keeping your detector at an optimal 5 degrees Celsius (maximum -35°C difference from ambient temperature).  Read more |
