ICP-MS

UV spectrometer

A Shimadzu UV-3600 UV spectrometer of the UV-vis-NIR type, covering a wavelength range from 190 to 3300 nm and equipped with:

  • a double monochromator allowing a very high resolution (up to 0.1 nm) and a very low parasitic light (up to 5×10-5 % at 340 nm),
  • a tungsten source for VIS-NIR and Deuterium (D2) for UV,
  • a triple detector: PMT (photomultiplier tube) for ultraviolet and visible light, InGaAs and cooled PbS for near infrared light, allowing a noise level < 3×10-5 Abs,
  • a double beam.

ICSM is also equipped with two other spectrometers:

  • a Thermo-Fisher UV spectrometer,
  • a UV-vis spectrometer: VARIAN, Cary 50.

   

Infrared spectrometer

Perkin Elmer 's IR-FT100 spectrometer equipped with:

  • a globar MIR source,
  • a Fourier transform optical system with CsI separator and DTGS detector for a spectral resolution of up to 0.5 cm-1.

It is also composed of three modules:

  • for measuring diffuse or total reflectance and transmittance of solids (powders or thin films) using a PIKE integration sphere module, type MID Integratir, equipped with a cooled MCT detector, over a range of interest from 4000 to 650 cm-1. Dedicated to specific research analyses,
  • ATR-type measurement (Attenuated Total Reflection), thanks to a Perkin Elmer module made up of a diamond having 1 reflection of diameter 2mm set in a crystal of type condenser micro focus in KRS-5, allowing to access a wide range of waves number (10000 to 400 cm-1). This module allows the rapid and unprepared routine analysis of raw solid, powder and liquid samples,
  • measurement in transmission (KBr tablets, liquids).
