Product Features
- Highly Stable Optical System: The optical bench adopts an integrated design with overall mold forming. Key components are positioned once without the need for subsequent adjustments, significantly improving the mechanical stability and long-term reliability of the instrument.
- High-Performance Electronic System: Equipped with the latest 24-bit A/D conversion technology and matched with an imported detector, it achieves accurate and reliable data, real-time collection, and high-speed transmission.
- High-Precision Optical System: One-piece formed gold-plated angle mirrors offer excellent matching consistency and a larger reflective surface, ensuring higher light flux and reflectivity. The high vertical precision of each surface of the angle mirrors and the adhesive-free design make them unaffected by ambient temperature, further enhancing the instrument’s stability.
- Intelligent Protection System: The sealed interferometer design enables quick identification of humidity conditions. It reminds users to replace desiccants in a timely manner through obvious color changes, effectively resolving potential hazards during infrared use. Desiccants can be replaced independently without opening the cover, reducing the maintenance workload for operators.
- Diversified Accessory Options: The replacement of accessories and experimental installation process are simple and convenient. The extra-large sample chamber facilitates the expansion of other infrared accessories, such as ATR accessories, gas cells, liquid cells, polarizing accessories, etc.
- Audit Trail Function: The instrument’s supporting software is equipped with a “three-level management authority” function, meeting the requirements of relevant testing specifications.
- Professional Certification Service: Provides 3Q certification and installation services to ensure that the instrument’s installation and use comply with professional standards.

Environmental humidity must be controlled to prevent moisture damage to the sealed interferometer and KBr beam splitter. The instrument requires periodic desiccant replacement and operation from a stable AC220V/50HZ supply.
- Humidity Indicator: The humidity indicator changes color to signal when desiccant must be replaced.
- Desiccant Replacement: Desiccants can be replaced independently without opening the cover, and replacement is required when the indicator activates.
- Power Supply Requirement: The instrument requires a stable AC220V/50HZ power supply for proper operation.
How does the Atomfair-FTIR-516's resolution of better than 1.0 cm⁻¹ affect signal-to-noise ratio and accuracy for trace gas analysis?
The FTIR-516 achieves a resolution better than 1.0 cm⁻¹ while maintaining a signal-to-noise ratio greater than 30000:1 (P-P value at 2100 cm⁻¹, 4 cm⁻¹ resolution, 1-minute background and sample scanning). This combination enables high-resolution identification of narrow spectral features without compromising sensitivity, which is critical for applications like free silica determination in air or oxygen/carbon content in silicon.
What accessory compatibility and software integration are required for the Atomfair-FTIR-516 to analyze solid, liquid, and gas samples?
The instrument features an extra-large sample chamber that accommodates a wide range of optional accessories, including ATR, gas cells, liquid cells, and polarizing attachments. Replacement and installation are simplified, and the USB 2.0 interface supports Windows 7 and Windows 10 operating systems. The included software provides a three-level management authority audit trail, meeting regulatory compliance for pharmaceutical and chemical analysis.
How does the sealed interferometer design protect the KBr beam splitter from humidity in unconditioned laboratory environments?
The Atomfair-FTIR-516 employs a sealed interferometer with a KBr beam splitter coated with germanium and a moisture-proof layer. An intelligent protection system visually indicates humidity levels through a color change, alerting the user to replace desiccants without opening the instrument cover. This design prevents moisture degradation of the hygroscopic optics, reduces maintenance frequency, and ensures long-term stability in high-humidity labs.
The Atomfair-FTIR-516 is a mid-range FTIR spectrometer with a 7800-350 cm⁻¹ range and 1.0 cm⁻¹ resolution, featuring a sealed interferometer with moisture-proof coated KBr optics and gold-plated corner cube mirrors for enhanced stability. Its integrated design and 24-bit A/D conversion support reliable, high-throughput analysis, while the large sample chamber and accessory options extend its utility across diverse applications from asphalt to semiconductor materials.
Positive
- Sealed interferometer with moisture protection: The sealed design with color-indicating desiccant and moisture-proof coated KBr beam splitter protects the optics from humidity, reducing maintenance and ensuring long-term spectral stability in typical lab environments.
- High sensitivity and stability: With a signal-to-noise ratio better than 30000:1 (P-P, 4 cm⁻¹, 1-min scan) and gold-plated corner cube mirrors, the system delivers high light flux and consistent performance, suitable for trace analysis in demanding applications.
Trade-offs
- Requires humidity-controlled environment: Despite the sealed design, the KBr beam splitter and desiccant system still require ambient humidity control and periodic desiccant replacement to prevent moisture damage, adding operational overhead.
- Limited spectral range for far-IR analysis: The 7800-350 cm⁻¹ range excludes far-infrared regions below 350 cm⁻¹, which may limit its use for certain inorganic or metal-oxide analyses that require extended low-wavenumber coverage.
