The Nicolet IR100/iS5 FT-IR Spectrometer

The Nicolet IR100/iS5 FT-IR consists of a spectrometer attached to a PC and laser printer.

IR100 and iS5 FT-IR spectrometers

Nicolet IR100/iS5 FT-IR System

Samples are prepared and placed in a holder in the sample compartment. Infrared radiation is then passed through the sample to produce a spectrum which is interpretted to gain insight into the structure of the molecule(s) that make up the sample (click here to review the theory of infrared spectroscopy).

A sample spectrum (Nujol oil, thin film) appears below:
