Mass spectrometry & spectroscopy
Anton Paar’s Lyza 7000 FTIR spectrometer is a compact, standalone instrument that delivers fast, reliable ATR FTIR analysis for quality control in polymer and chemical manufacturing.
FTIR spectroscopy with attenuated total reflectance (ATR) is a well-established method for polymer and chemical identification. Fast, non-destructive, and sample-preparation-free measurement allows reliable identification of polymers, additives, and fillers within 30 seconds.
FTIR spectroscopy can be used to confirm material identity, quantify additives, and detect blend deviations. With Lyza 7000, spectral acquisition, comparison, interpretation, and reporting is automated. This reduces QC cycle times to around one minute per sample – enabling fast decision-making on raw materials, blend accuracy, and final product integrity.
Operating the Lyza 7000 FTIR spectrometer is simple and straightforward. With no external PC or complex setup required, lab personnel simply place the sample on the ATR crystal and tap ‘Start’. The device acquires the spectrum in less than 30 seconds, compares it to a validated reference, computes a correlation, and delivers a definitive pass/fail report.
Modular cells support a variety of sample types, with module detection enabling rapid cell swaps with no downtime. Internal diagnostics and a status display help ensure stable operation and immediate issue identification, while the touchscreen interface with guided workflows enables consistent results with no specialised training.
From raw material verification to final product release, Lyza 7000 delivers fast, reliable results – bringing the capabilities of ATR FTIR into an efficient, compact system optimised for effective quality control.
