An automated in situ FTIR cell for materials characterisation in a controlled atmosphere
Characteristics
Automatic
Motorised cell where all the analysis functions are automated: sample’s position, spectra acquisition, configuration of analysis cycles…
Temperature control
A thermocouple is placed at the proximity of the sample to ensure a better control and a precise measurement of the sample’s temperature during the experiment.
Features
- Cell body and suspension in inert materials (Quartz and Pyrex)
- Safety cover (plexi transparent)
- Support plate made of aluminum adapted to the sample compartment of the spectrometer
- Sample-holder made of platinum
- Sample: Self-supported pellet (16 mm)
- Working pressure : 10⁻⁶ mbar to atmospheric pressure
- Tubular oven (Tmax = 700 °C)
- Control panel and control interface
- Management of experiment and temperature calibration libraries
Accessories
- 3 valve glass fitting (glass-metal) for precise addition of probe molecules
- Temperature controller
- K type Thermocouple
- Pressure measuring gauge and readers
- RT and low-temperature window ports
Applications
- Qualitative and quantitative analysis of the materials properties: acidity, basicity, composition, dispersion…
- Adsorption of probe molecules at ambient and low temperatures (temperature of liquid nitrogen)
- Thermal stability studies in a controlled atmosphere
