The Thermo Scientific Nicolet 8700 FT-IR spectrometer with the Vectra-Piezo™ interferometer provides superior performance and advanced scanning capabilities, including step-scan spectroscopy. Step-scan spectroscopy eliminates Fourier modulation interference encountered in conventional, continuous-scan FT-IR. It allows measurements to be made as an explicit function of time or phase. Typical applications of step-scan FT-IR include:
• Time-resolved spectroscopy (TRS) for fast kinetic process studies
• Phase-resolved spectroscopy (PRS) for modulation experiments
The spectrometer has advanced scanning velocities for rapid- and slow-scan, and an extended spectral range from 27,000 to 20cm-1. The spectrometer makes possible hyphenated techniques, such as advanced infrared microscopy, GC-IR, TGA/FT-IR, or FT-Raman spectroscopy.
Its superior design provides user-friendly analysis, and the full utilization of digital signal processor (DSP) for spectrometer control, signal generation, and data processing results in an easy-to-use spectrometer with superior performance for both time and frequency-domain experiments. Extensive on-line help will take you through even the most difficult experiments and provide enough information to run them with minimum effort and time.
Thermo Fisher Scientific has produced an advanced FT-IR spectroscopy informational book, "Principles, Experiments and Applications: Based on Research-Grade Nicolet FT-IR Spectrometers," written by Dr. Eric Y. Jiang. This book will appeal as a practical technical reference guide to advanced users of Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) spectrometers, as well as a useful tutorial guide to users with little experience in advanced spectroscopy.
