I wouldn't want to teach FTIR without this.
Teaching for analytical and organic chemistry
The Quest Diamond ATR is a great addition to FTIR for teaching as it is durable and high throughput. Students find it easy to master using the instrument when they don't have to use salt plates or make pellets. It has increased student understanding for FTIR spectra and sampling processes. I recommend anyone wishing to teach FTIR to undergraduate students to consider this product for improved sampling and increasing speed of samples.

Reduced analysis time, high reproducibility
Biomass analysis for structural and functional group changes
We purchased this product last year. It has helped us a lot by reducing analysis time and at the same time it gives very good results which have high reproducibility. Can be used for a wide range of samples which need to analyzed.

Fantastic design, great equipment!
Raw Material identification for supplement industry.
This product is fantastic! We replaced our old system with this one about 2 years ago and have not looked back!. The diamond ATR units are practically indestructible and can not be easier to clean.

High optical signal throughput and smart optical design
Cure test for polymer coating
Compared to similar attachments to FTIR, Quest is one of the best (if not the best) in high optical signal throughput and signal-to-noise ratio. There is definitely some smart optical design involved. No breaks or any concerns within 2 years of daily operation.

In use daily, by students and for sensitive energetic materials. Great device.
Analytics of energetic compounds
This ATR module gave life back to our ancient FTIR spectroscope, which has been pretty much out of use for quite some time. The Specac module was simple to install, a distance plate which was missing (not fitting) on delivery was promptly sent to us - great customer support. All data recorded is reliable, the system is in use every day. Only the sample plate has stains so a different type of steel would have been nice. But all the working parts are reliable and the system is easy to clean, as you would expect from an ATR.

Brilliant product, very easy to use and very hard wearing
IR analysis of samples in undergraduate teaching labs
This product is fantastic, we replaced the old plates in our IRs with these as they were continuously getting damaged and misused in the teaching labs. These diamond ATR units are practically indestructible and extremely easy to clean and can be swapped out for liquid or gas cells very easily.

Has allowed successful experiments under our time constraints.
Advanced undergraduate laboratories
Allows us to have a much quicker through put by reducing sample prep time and allows successful handling of small samples by students. A problem we had was quickly resolved with no needless hassle.

The Quest™ ATR is a single-reflection ATR accessory from Specac designed for routine use in academic and industrial laboratories. With features designed to inspire confidence in the quality of results and reliability in use, this product sets the benchmark in performance and value in FTIR-ATR Spectroscopy.
Three key features of the Quest ™ ATR:
- Monolithic diamond ATR crystals that are both chemically resilient and scratch-resistant, as well as extremely tough, being able to sustain the high point loads encountered when sampling hard, irregular solids.
- Interchangeable crystal pucks. Our ever-growing range of options currently includes ZnSe for soft materials, Ge for highly absorbing samples, and options for liquid containment and specular reflectance.
- Repeatable and reproducible sample loads are enabled by the pressure tower. This has an audible 'click' to indicate the preset pressure limit and features a swing anvil arm to allow easy access to the ATR crystal puck.
- Both plane and pellet anvils are provided with the accessory to allow analysis of samples of various shapes. These anvils are easily interchangeable and stored on the top plate when not in use.
- Now available with high temperature diamond and ZnSe pucks for analysis of samples up to 110 degrees Celsius.
