The IRAffinity-1S Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) Spectrophotometer is ideal for high-precision analysis to identify foreign matter and contaminants in raw materials, medical products, cosmetics, packages and coatings. It is an ideal workhorse instrument suitable for teaching, routine QA/QC analyses and research. It offers full functionality for all FTIR techniques, including transmission, diffuse reflection and attenuated total reflection (ATR) to meet a diverse range of application requirements. The IRAffinity-1S, mid-size FTIR instrument from Shimadzu, provides a perfect balance of performance and usability for all types of laboratories. Applicable fields include raw materials analysis, forensics, environmental, food, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, packaging and coatings.

Measurements and identification are carried out within seconds using the included spectral library of over 12,000 spectra (more available as add-on). With its unique design, the IRAffinity-1S offers a highly stable dynamic alignment mechanism and the robust S/N ratio of 30,000:1. In addition, it features an electronic auto drying system which is active even when the unit is not powered on. With the active electronic drying system, the IRAffinity-1S FTIR spectrophotometer provides an airtight interferometer structure that ensures that the optical components are fully protected, maintaining the long-term stability.
