Quest Diamond ATR by Specac Ltd

"I wouldn't want to teach FTIR without this."

"The Quest Diamond ATR is a great addition to FTIR for teaching as it is durable and high throughput. Students find it easy to master using the instrument when they don't have to use salt plates or make pellets. It has increased student understanding for FTIR spectra and sampling processes. I recommend anyone wishing to teach FTIR to undergraduate students to consider this product for improved sampling and increasing speed of samples."
