Measurement of ATR Spectra of Hard and Irregular Shaped Solid Samples Using the Specac Quest ATR Accessory

A plastic or polymer sample type can be analyzed as it is, using the ATR spectroscopic technique for collection of a representative IR spectrum. This obviates the need for a timely sample preparation method for a transmission spectral measurement, if the reflection technique for qualitative and quantitative analysis of the sample is sufficient. Specac’s Quest ATR accessory can be used to obtain as wide a spectral transmission range of light frequency collection for an irregular shaped, hard solid sample as possible.
