FTIR Liquid Cells
If you’re looking to prepare your liquid, mull or capillary sample for FTIR analysis look no further! Firebird Optics has you covered with various demountable/sandwich cell configurations along with permanently sealed options.
Permanently Sealed Liquid IR Flow Cells (Lightpath: 0.1-10mm)
Permanently Sealed Liquid IR Flow Cells (Lightpath: 0.1-10mm)
The Permanently Sealed Liquid IR Flow Cell is the go-to choice for IR transmission measurements of liquid samples in flow environments. Sporting a stainless steel chassis, each cell is permanently mounted and sealed, with a fixed, permanent lightpath. The cell is built to be corrosion-resistant and leak-free so that your sample won’t evaporate. Each cell is mounted on a 2” x 3” slide mount, which makes it compatible with all FTIR spectrometers. The flow direction is vertical and fittings are 1/8” compression fittings for connections to flow lines.
Each cell is carefully calibrated before leaving the factory to ensure lightpath precision. The main advantage of a permanently sealed cell over a demountable cell is to ensure repeatability and accuracy, while a demountable cell is better for qualitative measurements.
This cell consists of two IR optical windows with a lead spacer in between to form a completely airtight, chemical-resistant compartment. Luer-Lok filling ports are included so you can easily inject your sample. This cell cannot be taken apart without destroying the cell.
There is an approximately 4-5 week leadtime for all orders as these are made to order.
Cell Assembly
When using the Firebird rectangular demountable assembly the procedure is different depending on whether you are working with liquids or mulls/capillary films.
