Slow software.
Rating: 4.3

  • Application Area:Quality control laboratory - chemical industry

"High quality equipment, practical, efficient, reasonable application to use. Performing some commands is not so fast. We like it and use it all the time within our routine, I have no criticisms regarding the product's accuracy and effectiveness, I would just like to note that: The software is a little slow, especially when you have to access other areas of the computer, such as save folders spectra folders etc, but nothing too serious.

  • Application Area:FTIR

"It is a very small, convenient and robust instrument. I have used it for my polymer films and solutions in transmission mode and ATR mode. It's very easy to handle and convenient to switch between different modes. Data acquisition is very quick in large wave number ranges (3000-200 cm-1). The spectra obtained are good quality (signal/noise, baseline etc.) This is especially the best choice if bands at low wave number need to be investigated. The after sales service team are quick to respond. I strongly recommend this instrument."

"Our FTIR is equipped with all the necessary accessories, our analysis time has greatly shortened by using ATR techniques and it gives remarkable sensitivity & reproducibility. Very easy to handle, user friendly software and there's no comparison to this software. It is also very easy to perform the analysis of gaseous samples by using gas sample accessories. Overall it is good package."
