(Shimadzu Scientific Instruments: Columbia, MD) -- Shimadzu Scientific Instruments introduces the IRXross™ Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrophotometer. This midlevel FTIR model achieves upper-end performance, including high-level S/N ratio, resolution, measurement speed, and ease of use.

The enhanced S/N (signal-to-noise) ratio of the IRXross enables analysts to obtain high-quality data in less time. With P-P values of 55,000:1 for one minute of integration, the IRXross delivers ultrahigh-sensitivity measurements. Users also achieve high-resolution 0.25 cm-1 measurements. In addition, peaks from adjacent gas components are more easily separated using the IRXross compared to its predecessor, IRAffinity-1. High-speed measurement of 20 times per second enables faster reaction tracking. It also acquires data with a best-in-class low noise level.
