Innovative Accessory for ATR Spectroscopy

The Specac Quest™ ATR accessory is a versatile single-reflection ATR accessory designed for laboratory spectroscopic sample analysis in the mid- and far-infrared. With innovative optical design and durable monolithic diamond ATR crystal option, it sets the benchmark in performance and value for ATR spectroscopy. 

Recently, the capabilities of the Quest have been expanded to include a heated puck and the innovative Arrow™ system of silicon consumable slides.

The Heated Puck is capable of analysing both liquid and solid samples at up to 110°C. The temperature of the accessory is controlled from the Specac Temperature Controller Software app which plots the current accessory temperature against experiment time, along with the target temperature the program is trying to reach.

The Arrow™ is a system for batch preparation and analysis of liquid samples, using a thin silicon wafer as the ATR element. Each Arrow is a slide containing a single silicon internal reflection element that can be treated as a low-cost consumable for experiments requiring high volumes of samples or complex pre-treatments. By employing a single Arrow per sample, cross-contamination is avoided - especially useful in forensic and microbiology applications.
