LC-FTIR

A “breakthrough” (solvent removing) FTIR detector

technology, providing solid-phase analysis of HPLC (High

Performance Liquid Chromatography) and SEC (Size Exclusion

Chromatography) separations.

DiscovIR-LC represents the first fully-automated high performance

HPLC-FTIR detection system capable of achieving the

kind of rigorous, repeatable qualitative analyses that pharmaceutical,

polymer chemists and other industry customers require.

By providing an on-line chemistry solution, DiscovIR-LC increases

the productivity of a company’s most valuable processes:

product development, process control and troubleshooting,

quality control (incoming and outgoing), patent protection and

competitive analysis.

Micro-Deposition Improves Analysis unique temperature controlled and vacuum deposition method ensures that results are accurate and reproducible.
Eluted peaks are first deposited in a film onto a rotating IR-transparent disc. Next, an infrared beam passes through each concentrated spot and the detector automatically collects spectra data.
Concentrates Analytes in Minimal Area
Cryogenic temperature control of the Sample Disc minimizes the area of the deposited analyte. This results in a thicker sample layer and therefore higher sensitivity of the absorbance spectrum.
Retains Entire Chromatographic Run
The entire chromatographic run is applied as a solid deposit on the Sample Disc, preserving the resolution of the separation, Therefore, the entire run is available to be scanned again in order to investigate subtle features and improve signal-to-noise.
The speed of the rotating Sample Disc can be adjusted to match concentration of the deposited sample.
