Thermo推出用于質控行業的傅立葉變換紅外光譜儀

2005年1月12日，美國熱電集團（Thermo Electron）推出Nicolet 380型傅立葉變換紅外光譜儀，該款儀器是專門針對制藥、化學及聚合物工業的QA/QC質控實驗室而設計開發的。

在Thermo的傅立葉變換紅外光譜儀系列中，Nicolet 380是一款新產品，融合了04年Pittcon展會上亮相的Nicolet 4700、Nicolet 6700和Nicolet 8700的模塊。Thermo宣稱，Nicolet 380的特點，將提高常規QA/QC質控行業的通量。

Nicolet 380在研發過程中采用了系統集成的設計理念，進樣系統可即插即用，基于計算機的專家系統可為用戶在試驗過程中隨時提供指導幫助。全面的光譜認證軟件包使得儀器在使用過程中完全符合ISO和GLP/cGMP 標準。

Nicolet 380采用的動態線性干涉儀和健壯設計概念保證了重復測量結果的精度。儀器上集成了綜合掃描按鍵，使得無論是質檢人員還是研究人員都可很容易地操作儀器。

該款光譜儀器可工作在遠紅外、近紅外以及中紅外區域，并且可根據用戶實際需要配置紅外顯微鏡。鉆石ATR附件能被很簡便地安裝，并可測定低至200 cm-1的范圍。除此之外，它能用于熱重分析儀進行紅外分析。

“無需使用那些改變數據、在標準操作程序（SOP）中難以解釋的數學因子，Nicolet 380即可獲得0.01 cm-1甚至更高的波長精度。”Thermo在發布中說。

Thermo unveils FT-IR spectrometer for QA/QC

12-Jan-2005 - Thermo Electron has launched a new FT-IR spectrometer specifically targeted at quality control and assurance laboratories in the pharmaceutical, chemical and polymer industries.

The Nicolet 380 is a new product in Thermo's Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) spectrometer range - also comprising the Nicolet 4700, the Nicolet 6700, and Nicolet 8700 models, which debuted at last year's Pittcon exhibition. The company claims that the features of the unit will boost productivity in routine QA/QC.

Thermo said the Nicolet 380 uses provides plug-and-play sampling and a computer-based system to guide the user through the experiment. A comprehensive spectrometer qualification package is available to verify system performance in compliance with ISO and GLP/cGMP criteria.

In addition, a dynamically aligned interferometer helps ensure reproducible results, and integrated scan buttons on the spectrometer benchtop allow for easy operation of common FT-IR functions used in both industrial and academic laboratories.

The spectrometer is available for analysis in the far-, near-, and mid-IR regions and can also be configured with FT-IR microscopes. A real diamond ATR accessory can be easily installed to measure as low as 200 cm-1. In addition, it can also be used for thermogravimetric analyser (TGA) infrared analysis.

"The design of the Nicolet 380 allows users to achieve a wavelength precision of better than 0.01 cm-1 without using mathematical factors that alter data and are difficult to explain in a standard operating procedure (SOP)," said the company in a statement.
