Specac’s high-pressure Diamond Compression Cell is designed for in-compartment FTIR spectroscopic transmission analysis and FTIR microscope analysis. Samples are compressed and flattened to a uniform thickness between a pair of diamond windows until the sample is thin enough for the FTIR instrument or microscope beam to penetrate. This type of cell is particularly useful for the analysis of hard samples, including minerals, ru…

The Specac Mini-Film Maker is designed to produce high-quality thin films of polymer and plastic materials for infrared transmission analysis. This product enables quick and easy hot pressing of samples at any temperature between ambient to 250°C, to give constant and reproducible thickness films over the range 50 to 500 microns with a formed diameter of 15mm. The Mini-Film Maker Kit includes the Mini-Film Maker Press with…

Specac offers a Short Pathlength Gas Cell that is ideal for routine gas and vapour spectroscopic analysis at room temperature, low pressures, and static or flow conditions. The cell has a fixed 10 cm pathlength, and is available in Pyrex™ and stainless steel. This Short Pathlength Gas Cell is supplied with a choice of NaCl, KBr, CaF2, BaF2, or ZnSe infrared transmission windows, and is mounted in an optical spectrometer wit…

A silicon ATR consumable technology which helps you zero in on your analysis. Zero cleaning. Zero risk of cross-contamination. Zero hassle.

The patent-pending EXP® Trap Column is rated for use at 20,000+ psi (1,400+ bar). This unique design connects directly to any injection valve (with 10-32 threads) or in-line with 1/16” stainless tubing for unparalleled convenience and efficiency. The EXP® Cartridge System enables chemists to quickly remove detergents or salts which can affect the ionization process in MS work. This trapping technique can concentrate the sampl…

The entire EXP® Stem Trap and reusable holder are only slightly larger than a standard HPLC fitting. Its slim architecture allows it to easily fit into crowded instrument compartments or to connect directly to tightly-spaced injection ports. When tightened by hand, the EXP® Stem Trap seals to 8,700+ psi. All configurations incorporate wrench-flats to enable flawless sealing to 20,000+ psi (1,400+ bar). The unique packed floati…

The EXP® Stem Filter features a choice of frit porosities integrated with our patented auto-adjusting stem for repeated ZDV connections with any 10-32 port. The entire filter stem and reusable holder are only slightly larger than a standard HPLC fitting. This slim architecture allows it to easily fit into crowded instrument compartments, tightly spaced injection ports, and anywhere else you need an extra level of protection ag…

The EXP® Nano Trap System is designed to remove detergents or salts which can affect the ionization process in MS work rated for routine use up to 20,000 psi.The new nano-scale traps are available in two formats – EXP® Nano Trap and EXP® Nano Trap HR. Both formats are available in 10 or 20 mm lengths and in a variety of bed volumes ranging from 0.25µL - 4.0µL. The EXP® Nano Trap follows a traditional trap column format, design…

OPTI-SOLV® Reservoir Filters employ a unique conical design inside the filter housing to prevent air bubbles from getting trapped and disturbing your analysis. While the availability of HPLC-grade solvents diminishes the need for pre-filtering, it is still imperative that a filtration device be installed in the reservoir. Placing a filter in the reservoir is an economical way to filter particles that may result from buffer sal…
