Great FTIR accessory, robust and easy to use.
FTIR Spectroscopy
The specac golden gate ATR revolutionized FTIR. Ive been using this for the past 15 years and it's never let me down. I've never failed to get a spectrum from a sample-however small. It's really simple to use and maintain - wipe clean.

Used in IR applications and characterization
IR characterization of organometallic organic compounds synthesized in the laboratory and teaching t
This is a very good tool to be used in the IR applications at our research and teaching space. It is easy to use and gives a nice result. I have been using this for the last few years in our research group it is amazing so simple and easy to give results quickly.

The ATR is easy to align and easy for students to use. It provides good results.
Dye, polymers and pharmaceuticals
In general, the ATR performs well and gives us good results. Students use the ATR and they report it easy to use, clean, operate. For the price point, it is a good accessory.

Very easy to use, adaptable and a great time saver
Analysis of samples from green chemistry lab.
The Golden Gate ATR has been used for a wide range of samples from chemicals and polymers to pieces of biomass. It has not let us down for any of these applications and has proven to be robust for a range of operators of differing abilities and also capable enough for more demanding samples.

Just great accessory! It gives me a lot of important data
ATR IR spectroscopy of solid and liquid samples
Golden Gate single-reflection ATR is a must-have part of the equipment in each laboratory that uses IR spectroscopy, for both routine or more advanced measurements. ATR element made of diamond allows measurement of very broad spectrum of samples. Chemically inert, extremely hard and robust diamond also enables very easy measurements and fast cleaning. Single-reflection geometry allows reproducible, accurate and precise quantitative spectroscopy even with samples that has extremely high absorption indices, such as water and aqueous solutions. I used this accessory for precise measurements of optical constants of a series of water-amide solutions, and I could say that it enabled their highly precise determination, and further derivation of molecular properties of these systems. I also very often use a Golden Gate with heating plate with highly accurate temperature control. This accessory gives very useful measurements of temperature-dependent processes in chemical systems. I could say that, for me, this makes Golden Gate one of the most important parts of instrumentation in my laboratory. Besides these advanced measurements, Golden Gate also allows extremely fast measurements of samples without any preparation. Altogether, this accessory enables the use of IR spectroscopy in a very broad field of applications. It is just a matter of imagination to apply it to different fields of science.

Standard IR accessory I'd recommend to anyone getting into FTIR
cell wall fibre analysis and metabolite quantification
I've had 2 Golden gates for over 10 years and they are still going strong. Simple design, good energy through the ATR (maybe 10%) and excellent spectra. I use them all the time.

The Golden Gate® is a robust option for demanding single-reflection ATR applications. It features a brazed diamond ATR crystal and a signature “Golden Gate” sample loading bridge. More advanced top-plate assemblies are available for in-situ, high- and low-temperature work.
Features
- Monolithic diamond ATR The diamond crystal is brazed into a tungsten carbide mounting to achieve the highest possible physical and chemical resilience.
- Robust sampling top-plates The stainless-steel top-plate joins the diamond crystal and the loading bridge into one integral part that can withstand anything the lab throws at it. There are also top-plate options for in-situ sampling at sub-zero or high temperatures up to 300 °C.
- Signature bridge design Up to 80 lbs force can be applied to solid samples, ensuring the firmest possible contact to the diamond.
- Sapphire anvil The standard anvil tip for loading solid samples is made from durable sapphire and is self-levelling to deal with irregularly shaped solids. There are also anvils for dealing with polymer beads, wires, and textile fibres.
