Handheld FTIR: 4200 FlexScan Spectrometer

Following on from the rapid acceptance of the handheld 4100 ExoScan FTIR, the Agilent 4200 FlexScan FTIR is a handheld Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) designed specifically for various surface analysis applications, with the flexibility to be used in the most inaccessible of locations.

The 4200 FlexScan FTIR employs the optics, electronics, power supply and sampling technology of the 4100 ExoScan FTIR and splits them into two modules — the optics module, which contains the interferometer and sampling interface, and a power module, which contains the battery and system electronics. The optics module fits comfortably in the palm of your hand. The power module can be hooked to your belt, or suspended from a shoulder strap.

The compact dimensions and light weight of the optics module means you can conquer a host of previously impossible field-based applications that demand FTIR performance equivalent to traditional benchtop lab systems.

If you need to perform FTIR analysis in out-of-reach places such as inside vessels, you can simply attach the optics module to an extendable arm. If you need more stability, mount it on a tripod. Effortlessly perform repetitive measurements, such as analyzing numerous points over a large surface area.
