Equipment Model

Shimadzu IR Spirit-L

Description

The Shimadzu IR Spirit-L is a compact and user-friendly Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectrometer equipped with Attenuated Total Reflectance (ATR) capability. It is designed for rapid and reliable identification and analysis of solliquand paste samples with minimal sample preparation. The ATR technique simplifies sample handling and is ideal for quality control and routine analysis.
