The Specac Mini-Pellet Press is an entry-level laboratory hydraulic press for the preparation of high-quality 7mm KBr pellets for transmission FTIR analysis. With a rugged and durable design, this press is intended for regular laboratory use with maintenance-free operation. Specac’s Mini-Pellet Press is designed to be used on a laboratory benchtop, but is small in size and light enough in weight to allow it to be moved to d…

Specac’s High Temperature High Pressure Cell (HTHP) Accessory is a multipurpose cell for the FTIR analysis of solid samples in transmission, decomposition, or specular reflectance modes. Sample temperatures up to 800ºC can be obtained and the cell can operate at pressures from vacuum (0.1 torr) to 1000 psi for in-situ reaction studies. The standard HTHP Cell (GS05850) can be used for transmission analysis of 13 mm diameter…

The Quest ™ ATR is a single-reflection ATR accessory from Specac designed for routine use in academic and industrial laboratories.  With features designed to inspire confidence in the quality of results and reliability in use, this product sets the benchmark in performance and value in FTIR-ATR Spectroscopy.   Three key features of the Quest ™ ATR: Monolithic diamond ATR crystals that are both chemically resilient and…

FT-IR spectroscopy's latest innovation in liquid transmission analysis

Specac manufactures a wide range of high-quality Evacuable Pellet Dies suitable compacting powdered samples into discs or briquettes. These are particularly well suited for the preparation of solid KBr pellets for FTIR molecular spectroscopic analysis and XRF pellets for X-Ray Fluorescence atomic spectroscopic analysis (as required by a number of USLP and ASTM methods), but also find use in a broad range of other applications.…

Specac’s Omni Cell System presents a novel approach for the analysis of liquid, mulls, pastes, and cast film samples in UV, Vis, NIR, and IR transmission spectroscopy, with one cell mount being suitable for all applications. This transmission cell is specially designed to be suitable with both FTIR and dispersive instruments and is available with a wide variety of high-quality window materials to meet your analytical needs.…

Specac offers an Environmental Chamber designed for use with the Selector™ Diffuse Reflectance Accessory. This Environmental Chamber extends the sampling capabilities of the Selector™ by allowing the study of a diffusely reflecting sample at temperatures up to 800°C and pressures from vacuum (0.001 Torr) to 500 psi. Solid or powder samples are placed onto a sampling cup within an atmospherically controllable chamber for DRIFTS…

Specac manufactures a range of infrared wire grid polarizers for FT-IR spectroscopic analysis. Applications include the study of orientation effects of single crystals, polymers, and other molecules, measuring thin films on reflective surfaces, and obtaining optimum sensitivity for reflectance measurements. These polarizers are available on a choice of calcium fluoride (CaF2), barium fluoride (BaF2), zinc selenide (ZnSe), t…

The Specac Manual Hydraulic Press is available in 15 and 25 ton load configurations for a wide variety of laboratory pressing applications.
