Professional Spectroscopy Equipment & Accessories

A pellet press machine is used to compress powdered samples into a dense, uniform pellet—often with KBr or other binders—which improves optical path consistency in FTIR measurements. This helps in achieving higher signal quality, reproducible results, and better spectral resolution, which is critical for sensitive spectroscopic analysis.

For research-grade FTIR you’ll want features like high resolution, strong signal-to-noise ratio, broad spectral range, good detectors, and versatile accessories (e.g. ATR, reflectance, gas/liquid cells). For routine lab use, robustness, ease of use, low maintenance, and sufficient spectral performance tend to be more important. At Spectrolab Systems we help you choose the FTIR instrument that best fits your application, budget, and sample type.

ATR stands for Attenuated Total Reflectance, a sampling technique used in FTIR spectroscopy. It allows direct measurement of solids, liquids, pastes etc. without extensive sample preparation. ATR accessories help by making FTIR more versatile, faster, and more convenient—especially for surface or low depth-penetration analysis (e.g. coatings, films). Spectrolab offers a variety of ATR accessories tailored for different sample types and measurement needs.

A spectrometer works by dispersing light from a sample and detecting its intensity at different wavelengths. Key components include the light source, monochromator or interferometer (for FTIR), detector, optics, and sample interface (ATR, reflectance, gas cell etc.). The performance of each component (like resolution, sensitivity, stability) influences the quality of spectroscopy results. Our specialists advise you through these details when selecting the right instrument.

Spectrometer instruments come in various types—including FTIR, UV-VIS, Raman, Atomic Absorption (AA), Flame Photometry, LIBS, XRF/XRD, etc.—each suited to different sample types and analytical requirements. For example, FTIR/ATR is ideal for molecular vibrations and functional group analysis; UV-VIS for absorbance; AA for elemental concentration; Raman for vibrational modes with minimal sample prep. Spectrolab Systems helps you to match the right spectrometer instrument based on your samples, detection limits, speed, and cost constraints.

Accessories like ATR attachments, pellet dies, film-makers, liquid/gas cells, polarizers, reflectance attachments, and sample holders are critical to achieving accurate results. At Spectrolab Systems, we supply both standard and bespoke spectroscopy accessories compatible with most major instrument brands to ensure you get reliable performance and compatibility.

In materials research, an injection molding machine lets you prepare polymer or composite samples with specific shapes, thicknesses, or surface finishes. These molded samples are useful for testing mechanical, optical or spectroscopic (e.g. FTIR, UV-VIS, reflectance) properties, where sample geometry, thickness and homogeneity matter. Spectrolab can advise on suitable lab-grade molding machines to match your material type and sample requirements.

A laboratory press is a device used to apply controlled pressure (and often heat) to samples—e.g. to form pellets, films, tablets, or other shapes—for analysis. A pellet press is one type of lab press specifically for pressing powder into pellets. Lab presses are generally smaller, more precise and designed for research or quality control labs rather than mass production. Spectrolab Systems offers hydraulic and power lab presses optimized for sample prep in spectroscopy.

The right accessories depend on the physical state of the sample. Solids may need ATR, pellet press & dies, film makers; liquids might use liquid cells; gases may need gas cells with proper path length; thin films or coatings may require polarizers or reflectance accessories. Spectrolab Systems can help you select the correct accessories so that measurements are accurate, reproducible, and efficient.

FTIR spectroscopy is used to identify chemical bonds, molecular structures, functional groups, contamination, purity, coatings, polymers, pharmaceuticals etc. Industries such as pharmaceuticals, polymers, chemical, mining, environmental, research institutes, forensic labs etc. heavily use FTIR. Spectrolab Systems supports all these industries with FTIR spectroscopy instruments and applications.

A film polarizer is an optical accessory that filters light by polarization direction. In spectroscopy, polarizers help in reducing unwanted scattered or reflected light, improving contrast near surfaces, or measuring orientation in anisotropic materials and films. Spectrolab Systems offers infrared film polarizers of various extinction ratios and quality suited for high-precision spectroscopy work.

A laboratory tablet press is used to compress powders into tablets, often for pharmaceuticals or materials testing. Tablets made with consistent thickness and density can be useful for spectroscopic methods (e.g. FTIR or UV-VIS) when analyzing solid mixtures, pharmaceuticals, or coatings. Good sample geometry helps reduce scattering and improve reproducibility. Spectrolab can help you source tablet presses suitable for spectral sample prep.

Specac is a well-known manufacturer of spectroscopy accessories (pellet dies, film makers, ATR accessories, etc.). Yes, at Spectrolab Systems we supply Specac products and accessories, ensuring authenticity, compatibility, and service support. This helps labs get high-quality sampling solutions from a trusted name.

An FTIR ATR spectrometer combines FTIR measurement with ATR sampling to provide high quality spectral data from near surface layers, thin films, coatings, and difficult to sample solids or pastes with minimal or no sample prep. The ATR interface reduces interference from sample holders and improves reproducibility. Spectrolab offers a range of FTIR ATR spectrometers and accessories optimised for such applications.

A mini pellet press is a compact, manual or hydraulic press designed for preparing small, high-quality pellets from powdered samples. In FTIR spectroscopy, these pellets—often mixed with KBr—ensure consistent sample thickness and improve spectral accuracy. Spectrolab Systems supplies durable mini pellet press units ideal for research and teaching laboratories.

A laboratory press applies controlled pressure (and sometimes heat) to form pellets, films, or tablets for analysis. In spectroscopy, precise pressure ensures uniform samples for FTIR, XRF, or Raman measurements. Spectrolab Systems offers manual and automated laboratory presses suited for both routine QC and advanced R&D applications.
