Smart ARK™ High-Energy Throughput Multi-Bounce HATR Plates and Accessories

Smart ARK™ High-Energy Throughput Multi-Bounce HATR Plates and Accessories offer a wide variety of crystal types and angles to meet a variety of analytical needs.

• Proprietary crystal design allows crystal plates to be changed quickly, without optical realignment
• Both trough and flat plate style crystal plates are available to suit the specific sample analysis: Trough plate version is optimized for use with liquids, pastes, and gels and the flat plate version is optimized for use with solid films
• Crystal plates are coated with polytetrafluoroethylene to improve chemical resistivity and prevent discoloration of the plate surface
• Pressure device has been optimized to reduce breakage of the crystals that can result from too much or uneven pressure
• Crystal design ensures reproducibility and reliability with every measurement, which is especially critical when transferring analytical methods between laboratories with multiple spectrometers
• Crystal plates can provide a suitable angle and material that results in an effective pathlength from 0.6 to 45 micrometers
• Crystal materials are available for samples of almost any pH
