Agilent Cary - 600 Series FTIR Spectrometer

FTIR Spectroscopy and FTIR microscopy.

The system is a Cary 670-IR spectrometer coupled with a Cary 620-IR imaging microscope (Agilent Technologies, CA, USA). The microscope is equipped with both a single point detector and a 128 x 128 pixel liquid nitrogen cooled Mercury-Cadmium-Telluride focal plane array (FPA) detector Agilent Cary. We have a number of microscope objectives that can give a pixel resolution of ~5.5 µm., ~3.5, ~1.1 and ~ 0.66. However it should be pointed out that all the imaging data is diffraction limited meaning that the actual spatial resolution that can be achieved is determined by the wavelength and numerical aperture so is generally much worse than the smaller pixel sizes available. The system is generally used for the analysis of biological cells and tissue but is available for any sample where imaging is required.

For non-imaging requirements we also have available an Agilent Cary 630 FTIRwhich is a flexible benchtop FTIR spectrometer offering high performance and extraordinary ease-of-use in an ultra-compact design. It is engineered with the user in focus and provides simple, intuitive workflows to deliver meaningful answers in routine FTIR analysis and cutting-edge research. The Cary 630 FTIR is a robust, reliable, and flexible benchtop FTIR spectrometer benefiting from Agilent’s experience with field-proven mobile and handheld FTIR instruments. Its modularity offers sampling flexibility for analysis of solids, liquids, powders, and gases. Permanently aligned optics allow a wide range of modules to be swapped in and out in seconds, providing superior quantitative and qualitative information – fast.
