Changing Everything You Know
About Liquids Analysis by FTIR
The MicroLab (ML) is an extremely small mid-IR fingerprint region spectrometer specifically designed
for sample analysis in challenging, multi-user environments. The heart of the system is a patented,
rugged interferometer field proven to be used in any environment. The ML was designed to give the
user ultimate flexibility in where to use the system, whether it’s a traditional analytical lab, a temporary
field lab or even in the field.
DialPathTM technology makes longer pathlength mid-IR transmission spectroscopy of liquids as simple
as ATR is for shorter pathlength analyses. Integrated with the acclaimed ML system, DialPath
technology permits selection of any one of three pathlengths instantly, simply by rotating the optical head into place. There are no spacers or demountable windows, and clean-up takes seconds.
Analysts measuring lubricating fluids, edible oils, fine chemicals, foods and beverages, etc will find the
convenience, speed, ease of use
and performance of this new technology unbeatable. ML with DialPath
technology is the first breakthrough
in mid-IR liquids analysis in decades.
The ML Will:
• Verify identity of liquid raw material
• Measure impurities in solutions
• Ensure quality of final product
Sample Types
• Oils • Gels • Greases • Pastes • Dairy • Gasoline
• Diesel • Liquids • Wine • Foodstuffs
Applications
Sample Measurement
with the PAL
• Food Adulteration • Incoming QA/QC • Final Product QA/QC
• Petrochemical blending • Regulatory Compliance • Fine Chemicals
Sample Measurement with the
ML DialPath Technology
The DialPath sampling system quickly and easily analyzes the identity and/or
amount of components in a liquid. Simply place a drop on the lower window and
rotate the top window into place until it locks, effectively sandwiching the liquid
- this provides a reproducible pathlength every time. The transmission sampling
system is ideal for quantifying minor components in a liquid.
Ensure the crystal is clean
Place your sample on the window
DialPath Technology permits selection of
any one of three (factory set) pathlengths
instantly, simply by rotating the optical head
into place.
