FTIR-8400S

Shimadzu was the first company to offer dynamic alignment as a standard feature in an affordable FTIR spectrometer.With state-of-the-art technology,the Shimadzu dynamic alignment system continuously maintains optimal alignment during data acquisition,ensuring consistently reproducible spectra without the need for tedious mechanical adjustments.
FTIR-8400S is combined with the IRsolution - a 32 bit high performance FTIR software - to analyze your samples easily and securely.

Dynamic alignment ensures reproducibility by maintaining optimum alignment

Highly precise control of the moving mirror is required to stabilize the interferogram of the FTIR instrument. The FTIR-8400S includes the patented FJS system - very smooth and precise moving mirror unit - and the Dynamic Alignment system to optimize and stabilize the inter-ferometer unit. FTIR-8400S requires only a short stabilization time and is very secure.

Dynamic Alignment (Patented)

This System monitors the interferometer condition of He-Ne laser and compares it with that of optimized conditions. Any detected discrepancies by DSP system are corrected by automatic alignment of the piezo actuators at the fixed mirror.

The Dynamic Alignment Advantage

Optimal interferometer alignment is maintained automatically for continuous optimization and exceptional reproducibility.

The Signal-to-Noise Advantage

Peak-to-Peak S/N ratio is 20,000:1 or better, guaranteed!

The Simplicity Advantage

New FTIR operators will love the quick-start function that prompts the user through every action from setting scan parameters and acquiring the spectrum, to detecting peaks and printing.

The IRsolution Advantage

Powerful IRsolution software offers a myriad of standard data processing functions.The management of User group, protection by user name/password, Operation log recording, and Electric Signature supports the FDA 21 CFR Part 11.note)

The Validation Advantage

The software validates instrument performance to ensure compliance based on Japanese/European Pharmacopoeia and ASTM. The instrument and data reliability are ensured by GLP/GMP and FDA 21 CFR Part 11 compliance.

note) IRsolution Agent software is needed to fully comply to FDA 21 CFR Part 11 regulation.
