FAQs
Clarity and Confidence in Every Step
Here are some common questions about renting the Bruker Alpha II FT-IR Spectrometer.
Does the rental include software?
Yes, the rental includes OPUS and QUANT software. We ensure you have everything set up for immediate use. You’ll be ready to start your analysis right away.
How does FTIR differ from XRF?
FT-IR (Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy) identifies organic and some inorganic compounds by measuring how molecular bonds absorb infrared light, while XRF (X-ray Fluorescence) detects and quantifies elements by measuring the fluorescent X-rays emitted from a material when it’s hit by high-energy X-rays. In short: FT-IR analyzes molecular structure; XRF identifies elemental composition.
What’s included in the rental kit?
The rental kit includes the Alpha II FT-IR unit, the Platinum ATR accessory, a software license, power cable, and a quick-start guide. Everything you need to get started is provided. This ensures a seamless rental experience.
What’s special about the Platinum ATR detector?
The Platinum ATR is designed for durability, with a monolithic diamond crystal that resists wear and corrosion. This accessory allows for high-performance analysis of challenging samples. Its longevity means less maintenance and more reliability.
What kind of power supply do I need?
A standard 120V outlet is required to power the Bruker Alpha II FT-IR. No special infrastructure is needed, making it easy to set up. You can use it in most lab or field environments.
What happen if i have an issue with my rental unit?
If something goes wrong, you’re not on your own. Reach out to us, and you’ll get a real person who understands the equipment and can help you troubleshoot quickly. Most issues can be resolved on the spot with guidance from our team. If not, we’ll move fast to get you a clear next step so your project stays on track.
