This portable FTIR package is a powerful complement to Agilent’s GC/MS systems, providing a complete solution for both screening and certifying that objects are free of ortho-phthalates.
The 4500 Polymer Package is based on Agilent’s battery powered, fully portable 4500 FTIR spectrometer system. This powerful spectrometer brings the power of FTIR to the sample, regardless of location, and delivers lab-quality results. The spectrometer in this package is equipped with a triple reflection diamond ATR sample interface and an in-depth ATR polymer library. An extended spectral polymer library is also available.
In short, this package provides a powerful means for ensuring product quality and safety, providing proactive support for intelligent supply-chain management.
- The 4500 portable spectrometer is designed to deliver lab-quality results in the field.
- The three reflection diamond ATR provides greater path length for more accurate quantitative measurements and lower detection limits. Diamond ensures that sample does not abrade or otherwise compromise the sensor surface.
- Agilent’s exclusive calibrated method affords highly accurate measurement of total phthalates in PVC to 0.1% LOQ – even in PVC that contains fillers or carbon particles.
- Methods for measuring total phthalate levels in important commercial polymers are under development and can be easily added to the 4500 system, as they become available.
- Agilent’s exclusive spectral search algorithm and conditional reporting deliver accurate results for specific polymer formulations.
- The polymer analyzer package contains pre-installed libraries with the most common plastics and elastomers. Additionally, an expanded library can be purchased to allow the user access to approximately 5,000 spectra in total.
- Agilent MicroLab Mobile Software is highly intuitive and requires little training. Push button methods enhance ease-of-use and speedy results.
- Results are presented in custom report style and offer color-coded alerts to warn users if a sample is out of specification.
