ATR Family I Quest ATR Accessory The Quest ATR, a journey into The Quest ATR Accessory is a performance single-reflection ATR accessory from Specac designed for laboratory spectroscopic sample analysis in the mid- and far-infrared. With an innovative optical design and durable monolithic diamond ATR crystal option, this product sets the benchmark in performance and value for ATR In its standard configuration, the Quest ATR Accessory has a strong and durable monolithic diamond ATR crystal which is ideal for analysing hard inflexible solid materials without risk of being scratched or damaged even for extreme point loads. Coupled with diamond's inherent chemical resilience, this allows the Quest ATR Accessory to be used with the broadest range of sample types. A 1.8mm diameter diamond sample area means that good contact can be achieved even with the smallest amount of material available for analysis. The Quest ATR Accessory features an all-reflective optical design, based around Specac's proprietary Synopti-Focal Array technology. This comprises precision-molded aspheric mirrors and gold-coated optics as standard, and provides the Quest ATR Accessory with high transmission throughput and an extended wavelength range capability to match that of your mid- and far-infrared FTIR instrument. Together with an optimised angle of incidence on the ATR crystal, these features ensure outstanding Four easily-interchangeable crystal pucks are available for use with the Quest ATR Accessory: a high-throughput diamond puck for mid-infrared analysis (7800 to 400 cm1), an extended wavelength range diamond puck for crystal puck for softer materials, and a Ge crystal puck for strongly absorbing samples. These ATR crystals are mounted in a durable stainless steel puck and held in place against a robust metal seal to ensure compatibility with a broad range of sample types. Repeatable and reproducible sample loads are enabled by a full-function pressure tower. This has an audible 'click' to indicate at the preset pressure limit, and features a swing anvil arm to allow easy access to the ATR crystal puck. Both plane and pellet anvils are provided with the accessory to allow analysis of samples of various shapes. These anvils are easily interchangeable and stored on the top plate when not in use. Note that the Quest ATR Accessory is Benchmark Base- plate™ compatible. • Strong and durable monolithic diamond • Extended wavelength capability from 10,000 to 40 • High spectral quality and high throughput capability • Interchangeable Diamond, ZnSe and Ge ATR crystal puck options The Benchmark Baseplate™ System Specac believe that your accessory should be able to be quickly and easily switched from instrument to instrument in your laboratory. To facilitate this, we have developed the "Benchmark Baseplate™" system as an interface between the accessory and instrument, and to which the accessory can be fitted with a single thumbscrew fixing. The Benchmark Baseplate™ is unique to the instrument model being used (a baseplate is supplied with the Quest ATR Accessory), and can be left in the sample compartment, if required, for use with other Specac Benchmark compatible accessories.

ATR Family I Quest ATR Accessory The Quest ATR, a journey into performance and value Why is a monolithic diamond important? Ordering Information 'Diamond'ATR Accessories on the market are generally available in two forms: those that feature a solid monolithic diamond and those with a thin diamond wafer supported by an optical element (typically ZnSe). Monolithic diamond ATR accessories are seen to benefit from the inherent robustness and durability of a solid diamond element, and are particularly resilient to high point loads typically encountered when analysing hard irregularly-formed...
