Analyzing Samples
Agilent 5500 Series FTIR Operation Manual 39
If the sample is a powder or solid, the sample press must be in
contact with the sample. To make contact, pull the sample press arm
forward until it reaches the detent (snap-in) position. The spring-
loaded sample press tip is set to apply 15 pounds of force assuming a
0.03 inch sample thickness.

Click the NEXT button on the software screen to proceed with
the analysis.

For detailed software instructions for measuring a sample, refer
to the MicroLab Software Operation Manual.
7
After completing the sample measurement, immediately clean the
sample from the accessory using the instructions provided above.
It is important to make sure both the sample mounting window
and the sample press tip (for single reflection only) are free of
any residue from the previous sample.

For detailed software instructions on reviewing results and
handling sample data, refer to the MicroLab Software Operation
Manual.
For additional instructions on editing methods and reviewing
data using MicroLab PC software, refer to the MicroLab Software
Operation Manual.
Agilent 5500 DialPath FTIR
The Agilent 5500 DialPath FTIR instrument is provided with a
dedicated sampling interface (the DialPath), which is based on the
same technology as the TumblIR accessory. The DialPath uses the
TumblIR’s patented liquid transmission sampling accessory, designed
and manufactured exclusively by Agilent, to optimize the analysis of
many liquid, paste or gel samples. When compared to traditional
liquid cells for general analytical laboratories, the DialPath makes it
much easier to prepare, load, analyze and clean the sample, while
giving the user the flexibility of choosing from three factory-set
pathlengths.
The DialPath operates in two modes: sample loading/cleaning, and
sample analysis.
