Specac manufactures a wide range of high-quality Evacuable Pellet Dies suitable compacting powdered samples into discs or briquettes. These are particularly well suited for the preparation of solid KBr pellets for FTIR molecular spectroscopic analysis and XRF pellets for X-Ray Fluorescence atomic spectroscopic analysis (as required by a number of USLP and ASTM methods), but also find use in a broad range of other applications.…

Specac’s High Temperature High Pressure Cell (HTHP) Accessory is a multipurpose cell for the FTIR analysis of solid samples in transmission, decomposition, or specular reflectance modes. Sample temperatures up to 800ºC can be obtained and the cell can operate at pressures from vacuum (0.1 torr) to 1000 psi for in-situ reaction studies. The standard HTHP Cell (GS05850) can be used for transmission analysis of 13 mm diameter…

Specac’s Omni Cell System presents a novel approach for the analysis of liquid, mulls, pastes, and cast film samples in UV, Vis, NIR, and IR transmission spectroscopy, with one cell mount being suitable for all applications.
