6.

 

If you are using the sample plate and pressure clamp, or collecting a spectrum from a 

powder using the sample trough and powder spacer, adjust the pressure of the clamp to 

find the optimum pressure for your sample. 
Slowly turn the screw on the clamp to increase the pressure while observing the 

intensity of the peaks in the sample spectrum. Continue to adjust the pressure until the 

peaks do not change any further. 
If the intensity of the peaks does not improve (transmission greater than 90%), you 

may need to place more sample on the top plate, or prepare the sample again as there 

is poor contact. 

7.

 

Click 

again to collect the spectrum. 

By default, during scanning the sample data is displayed on the Live tab in the Viewing 

Area. 
The completed spectrum is displayed on the Graph tab, and added to the current 

Samples View in the Data Explorer.  

If, for any reason, you want to stop scanning your sample, click 

.  

NOTE: When your accessory is next installed in the instrument, Spectrum will default to the 

instrument settings last used to perform a successful scan with that accessory. 

8.

 

Clean the sample off the crystal, using a cotton swab moistened with an appropriate 

solvent (refer to Table 2 on page 10). 

NOTE: You can use the ATR correction to enable you to compare spectra collected using the 

HATR with transmission spectra. See the Spectrum on-screen Help system for more 

information.
