Agilent 4500 Series FTIR Spectrometers Data Sheet
The Agilent 4500 Series FTIR consists of fully integrated, portable mid-IR spectrometers specifically designed for analysis outside of laboratory environments. The system is compact, packaged in a weather-resistant housing, and features an internal battery for field use.
The series includes specific models tailored to different sample types: the 4500t utilizes TumbllR technology for liquid analysis, while the 4500a features a diamond ATR sampling system for solids, pastes, and gels. Both systems require no sample preparation.
