Introduction
The PIKE Technologies Falcon NIR Transmission Accessory is an excellent choice for quantitative
and qualitative analysis of liquid samples in the NIR spectral region. Temperature range of the
accessory is 5 °C to 130 °C with +/- 0.5% accuracy. Heating and cooling is controlled by a built-in
Peltier device. The Peltier element provides for reproducible ramping and for reaching target
temperatures quickly and reliably. The system is driven by a Digital Temperature Controller
–
directly, or via PC.
Individual sample holders are designed to accommodate standard 5 mm, 8 mm and 12 mm glass
vials and 1 cm cuvettes. The vials and cuvette size are selected specifically to optimize the
transmission performance in the Near Infrared. Holders are interchangeable and pin positioned to
ensure maximum reproducibility.
This accessory can be used with FTIR models configured with NIR optics. Optical specification is
not dependent on FTIR main body type, but the NIR capability is realized using an FTIR with NIR
optics only. The Falcon mounts directly in the sample compartment of the FTIR.
