Used BIO-RAD FTS 50 #9256891 for sale

BIO-RAD FTS 50 is a dual-beam spectrometer that offers users a simple, efficient, and reliable tool for spectroscopic measurements. The equipment is capable of measuring a wide range of samples in the UV-visible, near-infrared, and far-infrared range. This system is designed with sensitivity to measure in small concentrations and is equipped with a slit width that offers high resolution for samples in the far-infrared ranges. FTS 50 is a dual-beam spectrometer that includes a reference beam and a sample beam. The reference beam is used in order to, with the sample beam, generate a continuous scan interference pattern used to calculate the wavelength output. In this way, it is capable of constructing its own reference independent of outside sources. BIO-RAD FTS 50 uses two grating assemblies: one for the UV-visible range and one for the infrared range. The grating assemblies are mounted in a turret that can be quickly rotated to quickly switch between the two ranges and allows for a scan range up to 0.2 to 12.5 μm. In addition, FTS 50 offers both transmission and reflection measurements modes. To ensure accurate results, the unit compensates for any aberrations by using a six-axis optical point mirror that compensates for the three perpendicular translations and three rotations of the optical components. BIO-RAD FTS 50's unique software platform requires minimal user interaction and allows for complexity in the data analysis. This machine is equipped with advanced mathematical algorithms for the analysis of spectroscopic data, such as peak recognition, baseline analysis, growth kinetic, and peak fitting. This tool is designed to accommodate a variety of sample types including, but not limited to, liquids, solids, powders, films, and solutions. FTS 50 is equipped with three built-in cameras for visualization of the samples. This allows the user to quickly determine the homogeneity of the sample and reduce the need for an extra sample viewing device. BIO-RAD FTS 50 spectrometer is an ideal tool for those in the fields of chemistry, electro-chemistry, materials science, and life science and can be employed in analytical methods such as chromatography, spectrometry, plasmonics, and surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy.
