Description

PIKE Technologies has introduced a sealed sample chamber for the MIRacle, Single Reflection ATR accessory. The high pressure clamp with chamber attaches to MIRacle diamond, ZnSe or Ge crystal plates allowing the complete assembly to be moved from the spectrometer to a protective environment for sample loading and handling. Typical applications include studies of toxic or chemically aggressive solids and powders. The chamber is made of stainless steel and is sealed against the crystal plate with a chemically resistant O-ring. The chamber contains an internal, spring-loaded anvil that compresses the sample against the ATR crystal at a pre-set, clutch-controlled setting. In addition to the new sealed sample chamber, multiple other options including temperature control, flow-through, and special clamps are available for the PIKE MIRacle ATR accessory. Established in 1989, PIKE Technologies, Inc. is located in Madison, Wisconsin. The company became a primary source for spectroscopy accessories worldwide. Products include attenuated total reflectance (ATR), diffuse reflectance, specular reflectance, integrating spheres, polarization, IR microscope, beam condensers, remote sensing, and a complete line of transmission sampling accessories. Many of these products are available with optional heating and automation for increased sampling speed and productivity. PIKE Technologies, Inc. also offers design and consulting services for development of specialized and custom products for a wide range of spectroscopy applications. PIKE products are compatible with all major brands of spectrometers.
