A staple for any lab, the IA30 Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) Spectrometer is a high-performance benchtop instrument. Perfect for everyday analysis, it delivers fast, accurate IR measurements for all applications.
The IA30 is a benchtop FTIR instrument designed for analytical and research applications, including polymers, semiconductors, and pharmaceuticals. It supports IR absorption, transmission, reflectance, and infrared photoluminescence, all controlled through a single software package, Miracle™.
Built for reliability, the IA30 features a robust interferometer on an anti-vibration frame, a long-life solid-state reference laser, a stable high-intensity IR source, and a broadband DLaTGS detector. This ensures accurate, repeatable, and trustworthy results.
It offers flexible spectral resolution from 0.5 cm⁻¹ (for detailed measurements) up to 32 cm⁻¹ (for fast processes). Each unit is rigorously validated to meet high performance standards.
Miracle™ software package is designed for the IA30 FTIR spectrometer with a focus on ease of use and smooth workflow. Miracle controls every aspect of your experiment, from instrument setup to data acquisition, analysis and reporting, ensuring intuitive operation at every step.
Two user levels making it suitable to a wide range of applications. Standard user mode is optimal for analysis and teaching labs where routine experiments are carried out. Advanced user mode unlocks instrument configuration options and complex analysis functions, suitable for R&D and the most demanding applications.
Data analysis in Miracle is highly flexible: it is possible to undo or rearrange processing steps, so you can access the raw data and fine-tune your analysis. The software allows you to reapply apodization with a different function, for better comparison with other spectra.
ATR-FTIR
ATR-FTIR is the dominant FTIR method for analysis of solids and liquids as it requires little to no sample preparation and is non-destructive. With ATR-FTIR an Internal Reflective Element (IRE) is used as the ATR crystal that the beam of radiation is directed into.
Transmission
Transmission FTIR spectroscopy is the most traditional method to analyse samples. Incident infrared light passes through the sample, and the amount which transmits through is measured producing an FTIR spectrum in %Transmission.
