Click here Monitoring Electrochemical Performance of SEIRAS Gold Layers To obtain a SEIRAS active gold layer, electrochemical polishing is required. Guidelines are offered to determine IR activity of a gold film using acetate absorption. Innovative Breakthrough in Automated ATR Sampling Automated ATR sampling is now possible. The new automated ATR accessory design, performance, applications and benefits are discussed. Automated Specular Measurements of a Thin Film Using an automated accessory the specular reflectivity of a thin film was characterized. Spectral optimization, error reduction and time efficiency are discussed. Perfect KBr Pellet Making The Perfect Pellet Recipe, a hybrid of methods developed by a generation of pellet making spectroscopists, is shared along with key factors in IR transmission sampling success. Assessing Formulation in Polymeric Materials by ATR–FTIR An ATR–FTIR solution is presented as a fast and reliable method to evaluate the accuracy of polymeric formulations as a quality assessment tool. High-Precision Mid-IR Integrating Sphere An integrating sphere is positioned outside of the spectrometer sample compartment to accommodate a wide range of samples sizes. Diffuse measurement data is presented. Protein Secondary Structure During Thermal Unfolding and Aggregation Using a temperature-controlled transmission accessory, and myglobin as a model system, the evolution of protein secondary structure through thermal transitions is measured. Silicon Microtiter Plate for Transmission Sampling PIKE Technologies offers 96-well silicon microtiter plates for X, Y automated transmission sampling. Its use and spectral measurements are evaluated.
