The ALPHA II is a compact FT-IR spectrometer with a footprint the size of a laptop. It is used for chemical analysis and enables you to do quality control, quantifications and verification of raw materials. ALPHA II will succeed in all FT-IR applications in any industry, whether it is quantification, identification of unknowns, verification of raw materials, quality control or basic entry-level research.
ALPHA II Features:
• Compact and resilient design
• Easy adaptation to all sample types
• RockSolidTM interferometer (lifetime >10 years)
• CenterGlowTM source (lifetime >5 years)
• Diode laser (lifetime >10 years)
• Intuitive operation and software
• Optional: integrated touch PC
• Optional: inert to high-humidity
Our QuickSnap™ sampling modules offer full samplingflexibility, resulting in limitless workflows for the ALPHA II.No matter the sample, a push of a button is all it needs toexchange the sampling module and prepare your devicefor new tasks. The ALPHA II recognizes the replacedaccessories immediately and sets up all parametersautomatically.
A wide range of FT-IR sampling accessories fortransmission, external, diffuse reflectance or attenuatedtotal reflection (ATR) are available and provide manypossibilities to adapt to any analytical question. Want toperform polymer quality control? No problem. Need tomonitor a chemical reaction? Easy. There is so much theALPHA II can do, you will be surprised.
Ease of Use and Efficiency
Operating the ALPHA II is meant to be effortless and straightforward, regardless of whether you use the integrated touch PC or an external computer.
On one hand, OPUS TOUCH offers you training time for new users and an accelerated analysis experience. In addition, the optional touch PC further reduces the overall footprint of the system, making it easier to transport the instrument.
On the other hand, the use of an external PC offers you an even richer feature set that leaves nothing to be desired from the advanced users. The desktop version also features guided workflows for standard tasks, supporting FT-IR beginners.
Design Follows Application
The ALPHA II lets you chemically analyze any kind of sample, may it be solid, liquid or gas.
At the core of this approach are the QuickSnapTM sampling modules, which allow the instrument to be tailored to the specific analytical task. These modules are safely and securely locked into place, making the ALPHA II a dedicated analyzer.
And if the requirements change? Then the spectrometer can be adapted just as quickly to new tasks. That’s why the design of the ALPHA II will always follow your application.
A RockSolid™ Foundation
Its RockSolidTM interferometer is wear-free and resistant to shocks and vibrations.
Apart from that, it offers an advanced stabilization of the IR source and features a durable diode laser with a life-time >10 years. It is operated by patented technology and consistently achieves high wavenumber accuracy and spectral stability.
No matter what happens during your measurements, your spectra will always look exactly as they should. You can count on its reliability. Everyday. Anytime.
