Thermo Scientific Nicolet iS 10 FTIR Spectrometer

The Thermo Scientific Nicolet™ iS™ 10 FTIR Spectrometer is a high-performance infrared spectrometer designed for routine and advanced analytical applications in QA/QC, pharmaceuticals, polymers, forensics, and petrochemical analysis.

The system is optimized for the mid-infrared (mid-IR) region, utilizing a KBr/Ge beamsplitter, with optional XT-KBr/Ge extended range optics. It is equipped with a fast recovery DTGS detector, providing high sensitivity and stability without the need for liquid nitrogen cooling.

A sealed optical bench ensures resistance to ambient humidity, supporting reliable long-term operation. The modular design allows integration with a wide range of accessories including SMART accessories, microscopes, and TGA-IR systems.
