Overview
The Nicolet iS10 FT-IR spectrometer has been designed so that it is easy to use
and meets the reliability required by laboratories with heavy workloads.
Salient Features
The salient features of the Nicolet iS10 FT-IR spectrometer are:
- Easy to access, rechargeable desiccants and integrated humidity indicator
- Integrated SOP builder and scan button, for simple user interface, reliability and productivity
- Nicolet Smart Accessory technology for convenient accessory exchange and experimental conditions setup
- Material verification package with standard and high sensitivity correlation algorithm, to meet variability of tested materials
- Novel multi-component analysis helps identify the key ingredients of mixtures allowing key ingredients to be identified, enabling every laboratory to
troubleshoot contamination problems with confidence
Optical System
The desiccated and sealed optical unit secures the instrument from humidity and solvent vapors. A dynamically aligned, self-compensating interferometer
eliminates any tilt and shear scanning error, automatically tuning the instrument for excellent throughput and providing analysis speed for real time survey
or screening. Diamond turned, pinned-in-place alignment-free optics guarantee long life system performance with less maintenance.
Spectrometer Performance Validation
For validating spectrometer performance the following are included:
- Integrated validation wheel having NG-11 and NIST traceable polystyrene film standards, serialized
- System Performance Verification (SPV) software and programmable tasks interface
Smart Accessory Compatibility
The Nicolet iS10 is compatible with a wide range of Smart Accessories specialized
for quantitative analysis, reaction studies, surface and thin firm measurements which include the following:
- Simple accessory exchange and experiment setup
- Maintaining proper experimental conditions and pre-set parameters
- Automatic performance verification
Configurable Options
External Beam Options include:
- Optional external beam from infrared microscopes or external Thermo Scientific Nicolet iZ*10 FT-IR module
- The Nicolet iZ10 FT-IR module can be used with the NIR integrating sphere (InGaAs detector) TGA interface or any other mid-infrared accessories, and can
be equipped with a DTGS or MCT detector.
Enhanced Analytical Power and Productivity
The instrument offers improved analytical power and productivity which includes:
- Measuring samples directly through vials, with the integrating sphere conveniently mounted in the Nicolet iZ10 FT-IR module
- Characterizing materials quickly and easily by switching to TGA/IR interface installed in the Nicolet iZ10 FT-IR module
- Achieving high throughput screening by powder and liquid auto samplers
- Identifying unknowns with the power of OMNIC Specta, which includes a 9,000 spectra database and innovative multi-component search routines
Applications
The Nicolet iS10 is used for:
- Quality control
- Analytical services
- Forensic duties
