Next Generation Compact FTIR Spectrometer Announced

摘要

The new ALPHA II from Bruker is the latest generation of the ALPHA series of compact FTIR spectrometers. The ALPHA II features fully-automated test routines for validation regarding operational qualification (OQ) and performance validation (PQ) as well as innovations in temperature-stabilised detector and high quality IR source technology. The ALPHA II now features an optional touch panel PC of industrial grade and OPUS-TOUCH, touchscreen software for easy and highly intuitive use which features build-in routine application workflows. The ALPHA II includes several innovations further improving its performance and technical specifications. It is equipped with an IR-source that utilises Bruker's CenterGlowTM technology guaranteeing a constantly high intensity, and a lifetime of at least 5 years. CenterGlowTM optimises the location of the glowing area within the source to maximise the light flux. The detector of the ALPHA II is temperature-stabilised to accomplish a high robustness of the system against changes of the ambient temperature.
