Smart AccessoriesSpeed Sample Preparation and Improve the Results in your Laboratory

An Accessory For Every NeedThermo Scientific Smart Accessories offer an extensive line ofsampling choices for Thermo Scientific products including theThermo Scientific Nicolet iS10and Thermo Scientific Nicolet iS50FT-IR spectrometers to address a variety of sample types and laboratory needs, from routine to advanced.• The basic Smart Accessories™, such as the Thermo ScientificSmart Multi-bounce HATR and the Thermo Scientific SmartDiffuse Reflectance, are ideal for the routine measurements donein quality control or teaching laboratories. These accessories provideaffordable tools that offer sampling speed and ease of use.

• The research Smart Accessories,such as the Thermo ScientificSmart ARK, Thermo ScientificSmart iTR and Thermo ScientificSmart SAGA, are geared towardthe research environment to provide the highest quality data and the greatest degree of flexibility.

• Smart Accessories are optimized for ease of use and universalsample compatibility.

All Smart Accessories are compatiblewith Thermo Scientific Nicolet iS10,Nicolet iZ10, Nicolet iS50, Nicolet 380and Nicolet x700 series spectrometers.

Designed For EaseThe most dramatic feature of a Smart Accessory is its integrationwith the software and the spectrometer, bringing an unprecedentedlevel of convenience and speed. When you place a Smart Accessoryin the instrument, you are instantly ready to collect spectra. Thereis no need for manual or mechanical alignment of accessories andno need to constantly adjust data collection parameter files.

Automated Experiment Set-upLike every smart component on a Nicolet FT-IR spectrometer, Smart Accessories are recognized by the system as soon as theyare installed. When a Smart Accessory is placed in the spectro meter,an Experiment file containing the software and hardware parametersfor that measurement is automatically loaded. The FT-IR system

will set everything foryou, so you are free toconcentrate on your work.

Optimal, Reliable PerformanceWe pioneered Smart Accessories, the only FT-IR accessories thatuse permanently aligned optical systems. Permanent alignmentmeans there are no time consuming adjustments necessary beforeyou can collect spectra. With a Smart Accessory you can be confidentthat everything is positioned properly, making your results morereproducible and reliable.

Confidence Through DiagnosticsOnce the experiment parameters are set, the system will run diagnostic tests to validate the performance of your spectrometer, giving you maximum confidence in your results. These tests savetime and improve results by identifying common user errors such as improperly cleaning a previous sample from a transmission cell.They also proactively help in addressing problems to maximize productivity.

Automatic PurgeSmart Accessories are constructed around a central-sealed opticstube. If your bench is purged, the accessory will automatically bepurged when it is inserted. Because the purged volume of a SmartAccessory is small, purge is achieved quickly. Over time, the smallpurge volume will also show less fluctuation than the relatively large volumes of a full-sized sample compartment – your results are much more reproducible.

In addition, the design eliminates the need for adjustable purge seals or separate purge connectors. Traditional accessories either do not have purge seals or requireadjustments to seal the accessory.

Expertise When You Need ItMultimedia on-line tutorials for our Thermo Scientific OMNIC software help you choose the right accessory for your application,show you how to use and care for your accessory, and demonstratehow to prepare a sample. OMNIC™ software can monitor your spectraas you collect them using spectral quality checks to look for commonsampling mistakes, then prompt you with situation specific tips andtutorials that can sharpen your skills and improve your results.

Attenuated Total Refection (ATR) An attenuated total reflection accessory operates by measuring thechanges that occur in a totally internally reflected infrared beamwhen the beam comes into contact with a sample. An infrared beamis directed onto an optically dense crystal with a high refractiveindex at a certain anglegreater than the criticalincident angle. The resultinginternal reflectance createsan evanescent wave thatextends beyond the surfaceof the crystal into the sample held in contact withthe crystal. In regions ofthe infrared spectrumwhere the sample absorbsenergy, the evanescent wave will be attenuated. The altered(attenuated) energy from each evanescent wave is passed back tothe IR beam, which then exits the opposite end of the crystal and isdirected at the detector in the IR spectrome ter. The detector recordsthe attenuated IR beam as an interferogram signal, which can thenbe used to generate an infrared spectrum.

Diffuse Reflectance (DR)When an infrared beam is focused onto a particulate material, theincident beam can react with the particle in one of several ways.The radiation can be reflected off the top surface of a single particleor multiple particles without penetrating the particle, a processcalled specular reflectance. Diffuse reflectance results from thepenetration of the incident radiation into one or more sample particles and subsequent scatter from the sample matrix.

A diffuse reflectanceaccessory operates by directing the infrared energyinto a sample cup filled withthe neat solid powder or amixture of the sample and aninfrared transparent matrix(such as KBr). The infraredradiation then interacts withthe particles causing the lightto “diffuse” or scatter as it moves throughout the sample. The output mirror collects the diffusely scattered energy, which isdirected to the detector in the spectrometer. The detector recordsthe altered IR beam as an interferogram signal, which can then beused to generate a spectrum. Typically, a background is collectedwith the diffuse reflectance accessory in place and the cup filledwith just the IR transparent matrix. Excellent quantitative data canbe collected with proper sample preparation.

TransmissionThe transmission technique does not require a separate accessory.The user simply places a sample within the sample compartment of an infrared spectrometer. The infrared beam passes through thesample and the energy that comes through the sample is measuredto generate a spec-trum. However, sample preparationis often necessary to ensure a thin uniform sample.

Specular Reflectance/Reflection-AbsorptionSpecular reflectance is a surface measurement technique thatworks on the principle of reflective efficiencies. This principlestates that every sample has a refractive index that varies with the frequency of light to which it is exposed. Instead of examiningthe energy that passes through the sample, specular reflectancemeasures the energy that is reflected off the surface of a sample.By examining the frequency bands in which the rate of change inthe refractive index is high, users can make assumptions regardingthe absorbency of the sample. The specular reflectance techniqueprovides excellent quantitative and qualitative data. Reflection-Absorption works on the same principle, but due to sample properties, some of the energy that passes through the surfacelayer is absorbed into thebulk of the sample andthen reflects off of a substrate below the surface layer. A combination of specularreflectance and reflection-absorption can occurwhen criteria for bothtechniques are met. If a qualitative comparison of specularreflectance to transmission spectra is desired, users can apply the Kramers-Kronig correction to the data to remove the effects of dispersion.

Smart iTRFor Multi-purpose ATR Sampling

The Thermo Scientific Smart iTR is an ultra-high-performance, versatile Attenuated Total Reflectance (ATR) sampling accessory.

Primarily designed for use with a singlebounce diamond crystal, the Smart iTR™

also offers other options for full configurability. Each of the ATR crystalsis designed for maximum infraredthroughput and spectroscopic performance.

ATR is the technique of choice for infrared and the Smart iTR is theaccessory of choice for Thermo Scientificspectrometers. It provides exceptionalsensitivity and IR throughput. ATR crystalscome in a variety of configurations suitable for every need. Solid materialscan be pressed onto the ATR crystalusing a high pressure tower to provide

consistent results. Single bounce ATR works for many stronglyabsorbing materials like polymers, chemicals, etc.

Example Applications

• Most solids • Liquids ranging from pH 1 to 14• Acidic or alkaline materials• Fibers• Hard or oddly shaped samples• Abrasive, caustic or corrosive materials• Large or small samples• Paint chips

Unique FeaturesThe Smart iTR is a versatile ATR for analysis of solids, liquids,pastes and gels. It is available with different crystal materials fordifferent sampling needs. Single reflection ATR provides generalpurpose use, while an optional three reflection ATR can be used tooptimize analysis of minor components. Crystal plates are pinned inplace and easily switched with no alignment required. ATR crystalplates are backed with a ZnSe focusing optic for optimal performance.An optional specular plate gives extra flexibility when analyzingcoatings on reflective materials.

The black top plate is over seven inches wide at the front, andmore than five inches from front to back, providing excellent spacefor most samples. The plate is Teflon™ coated and lifts clear easily,making clean-up very simple. Precision machining and an unreactive- gasket provide a tight interface between the top plate and the crystal housing, so spills are not a problem. A quick-release mountingof the crystals provides rapid and reproducible crystal insertion andremoval for cleaning or swapping.

The Smart iTR’s high pressure clamp comes with interchangeabletips for hard, soft and pellet shaped samples. The clamp is calibratedto deliver over 10,000 psi of pressure when applied to the singlereflection crystal plates.

The Smart iTR accessory is compatible with the ThermoScientific Nicolet iS10, Nicolet iS50, Nicolet 6700, Nicolet 8700 FT-IRspectrometers and the Nicolet iZ™10 auxiliary module.

Choice of ATR Crystal MaterialsThe Smart iTR accessory can be ordered with three common ATR crystals fixed in stainless steel as standard: diamond, ZnSeand germanium. Each crystal performs strongly under specific circumstances.

The diamond crystal is excellent for the analysis of hard, abrasive, reactive, caustic or corrosive materials, since it is inert and robust. It is also a multi-purpose ATR with a depth of penetration of over 2 microns at 1000 cm-1 and is used with a widevariety of samples. Its disadvantage is the intrinsic absorbtion fromapproximately 2300 to 1800 cm-1.

The ZnSe crystal offers similarly outstanding throughput and adepth of penetration similar to diamond. It can be used for a widevariety of samples, but over time it can be etched by acids andscratched by hard samples. ZnSe is soft and not as chemically inertas the other crystals, but provides an excellent performing, lowercost option for general analyses.

A five-year warranty is provided with the diamond ATR crystal.Both the diamond and ZnSe configurations can be validated.

Germanium is also hard and inert (although not as robust as diamond). Germanium provides a much shallower depth of penetration, making it ideal for highly absorbing or scattering samples such as carbon-black containing rubbers. The exclusivegermanium crystal used in the Smart iTR provides huge performancethrough the mid-IR range, with upwards of 50% transmittance.Germanium has a limited range, but offers good chemical resistivity to both acids and bases.

An additional ATR crystal that can be added to any of the accessories is silicon. Silicon is a very hard ATR crystal with a highrefractive index. This makes it useful for strong absorbers or abra-sive samples. Silicon withstands thermal shock, so it is suitable for temperature studies. Silicon is typically absorbing below 1500 cm-1,but the composite design results in a much broader range.

Smart OMNI-SamplerFor Single-Reflection ATR Analysis

The Thermo Scientific Smart OMNI-Sampler is an excellent choicewhen you need to make fast and simple measurements but face a

wide range of different sample types –solids or liquids. It is a universal singlereflection HATR sampling accessory thatfulfills almost all application needs. Inaddition to routine solids and liquids, theSmart OMNI-Sampler™ will facilitate theanalysis of difficult samples, such as darkcarbon-filled samples, single polymerbeads, hard rigid polymers, and coatingson glass substrates. For tough to analyzesamples, the Smart OMNI-Sampler is acost effective alternative to diamondsampling accessories. It is as easy touse as “position, click, and scan”.

The Smart OMNI-Sampler utilizes aspherical ATR crystal as the samplingsurface. This crystal design in combina-tion with the tilt back pressure tower

provides “point-to-point” contact between the sample and crystalwhen analyzing solid samples. This point-to-point contact is usefulfor analyzing hard, rigid, unyielding, and difficult-to-analyze samples.It is ideal for making quantitative measurements because the tiltback pressure tower operates with a slip-clutch mechanism toensure that the correct pressure is applied every time, independentof the sample’s size or shape. Operation could not be any easier –simply position the sample on the crystal and turn the knob. Whenthe correct pressure is applied, an audible click lets you know thatyou are ready to make your measurements. The tilt back pressuretower also tilts back at a 45° angle for easy access to crystal forcleaning and sample positioning.

The optional Lightning Viewer allows precise positioning of verysmall samples on the germanium surface. The Lightning Viewerfeatures a sapphire surface and allows application of the same“turn and click” slip clutch pressure as the standard pressure device.

Example Applications• Single polymer beads• Single filaments• Formed, rigid polymers• Paint chips• Printed circuit board• Paper/contaminants• Carbon-filled materials (o-rings)• Liquid, including aqueous solutions, corrosive, and caustics

Unique FeaturesThe Smart OMNI-Sampler integrates several unique features tomake sample measure ments simple and error-free. The sphericalcrystal design produces a nominal 2x reduction in the beam diameter.This provides enhanced sensitivity, the ability to run smaller samples,and the ability to exert more pressure on the sample, ensuring optimal contact. The pressure device tip is 2 mm, essentially definingthe practical sample size.

The Smart OMNI-Sampler utilizes an extremely rugged germanium ATR crystal that has a spectral range of 4000 – 675 cm-1.The germanium crystal gives a shallow depth of penetration that isideal for highly absorbing carbon filled samples, and thin surfaceanalyses. Compared to other ATR accessories with flat samplingsurfaces, the spectral quality is greatly enhanced due to the point-to-point contact between the crystal and the tilt back pressuretower pressure device. The crystal material and shape makes theSmart OMNI-Sampler a good general purpose IR accessory.

The liquid holder extends the usefulness of the Smart OMNI-Sampler. It can be attached easily, requiring no modifications to the accessory. The “swimming pool” design is optimized for smallvolumes and ease of cleaning.

Smart SAGAFor Research Performance Grazing Angle Reflectance Studies

The Thermo Scientific Smart SAGA (Specular Apertured GrazingAngle) is ideal for grazing incidence analysis of sub-micron films onmetallic substrates. Grazing angle reflectance is the technique ofchoice for analyzing thin coatings or deposits because the highangle of incidence increases pathlength of the infrared beamthrough the material of interest, significantly enhancing sensitivity.This accessory samples an average angle of 80 degrees from thenormal. Analysis of films from 10 Angstroms to 0.5 microns is pos-sible. A permanently mounted polarizer minimizes the ‘S’ polarizedlight which does not contribute to spectral data at the surface,increasing sensitivity and sampling speed. Samples are analyzedconveniently by placing them on a horizontal sampling surface andmasked using a unique sliding aperture assembly.

This is an extremely easy accessory to use for grazing anglestudies, yet it delivers superior performance and great sample areadiscrim ination. Simply lay the sample flat on the horizontal samplingsurface, position it using the laser-engraved grid if desired, turn the wheel to set the aperture size, and scan. Monolayer sensitivityis achievable due to the high angle of incidence and selectivepolarization.

Example Applications• Ultra-thin coatings• Adsorbed species on metal substrates • Lubricants • Surface contaminants • Residues • Molecular monolayers

Unique FeaturesIn addition to the all of the advantages of the Thermo ScientificSmart Accessories, the SmartSAGA™ features a unique internalsliding aperture assembly to quicklyprovide sampling areas of differentsizes. The aperture is set by simplyrotating a calibrated thumb wheelon the front of the assembly. Itdefines the infrared beam areaboth before and after reaching thesample surface, using a revolution-ary double-pass beam path. Thedesign eliminates the need to “soot”apertures to reduce unwantedreflections, and allows accuratesample definition localized studies. The integrated polarizer allowsthe best possible sensitivity and signal-to-noise ratio.

The sample stage features a laser-engraved linear measurementgrid that allows reproducible sample positioning for localized studiesof larger samples. These markings provide spatial informationabout where data was collected on a sample that can be recordedfor future reference.• 80 degree fixed angle of incidence • All gold reflecting optics • Unique internal aperture sliding assembly providing four different shapes and sizes of sample definition.

• Integrated polarizer to eliminate the ‘S’ polarized light andenhance the “P” polarized light component. The integrateddesign also protects the polarizer from contamination

• A laser engraved grid on the sampling plate to facilitate reproducible sample positioning and masking when performingquantitative analysis

Smart Diffuse ReflectanceFor Mid-infrared Diffuse Analysis

The Thermo Scientific Smart Diffuse Reflectance accessory is highlyeffective at maximizing diffusely scattered radiation while minimizing

specular reflected radiation which is asource of spectral interference. Samplescan be analyzed as is, with a slightamount of grinding or by grinding andmixing with potassium bromide (KBr). Awide variety of samples can be analyzednon-destructively.

Example Applications• Hard and soft powders• Organic and inorganic materials• Paint chips• Inflexible sample that can be abradedwith silicon carbide paper

Unique FeaturesThe Smart Diffuse Reflectance accessory comes complete with twosample slides. One holder has two integral sample cups within it.Typically, one of the positions is loaded with the sample and theother is loaded with a reference material, such as KBr. The integralsample cups eliminate the need to worry about easily lost smallparts, and are easy to load without the inconvenience of handlingsmall sample cups. If KBr is needed to dilute a sample for analysis,the convenient KBr Powder Packets can be used. Each of the KBrPowder Packets contains a convenient, pre-measured quantity ofdry KBr for dispersing a sample.

The second holder is intended for use with the Si-Carb measuring system and has an integral gold mirror that can be used as a background reference. A blank Si-Carb disk can also beused as a background reference. This sample slide also has a slotthat holds the Si-Carb disk. The Si-Carb kit includes the adhesive-backed silicon carbide paper that is used to abrade the surface tobe analyzed, plus a handle and sample plate to hold the paper. This technique transfers a small amount of sample to the disk. An infrared spectrum is obtained of the material clinging to the surface of the silicon carbide disk.

Smart NIR Integrating SphereFor Near-infrared Diffuse Reflectance

The Thermo Scientific Smart NIR integrating sphere provides thebest method of analysis of diffuse reflection. This leads to easiersample handling and increased throughput. The integrating sphereenhances the near-infrared capabilities of Thermo Scientific Nicolet FT-IR spectrometers.

Example Applications• Solids• Powders• Samples in either glass or plastic containers• Quantitative and qualitative analysis

Unique FeaturesThe Smart NIR integrating sphere has significant advantages overtraditional techniques when it comes to measuring powders andsolids. The testing is non-destructive and requires minimal samplepreparation. Spectral data is collected through glass and otherpackaging without touching the material, protecting your samplesfrom contamination and protecting you from exposure to potentiallyhazardous materials. Sampling throughput is increased becauseyou can simply place the sample on top and begin the experiment.The top surface also allows unobstructed access to the samplingwindow for large samples.

Integrating spheres are incredibly efficient collectors of diffusely reflected energy. Near-infrared energy enters the integratingsphere, the energy then strikes the computer- controlled internalgold reference, and is diffusely reflected. The reflected light is collected by the sphere and directed onto the dedicated InGaAsdetector. When it is time for sample collection, the gold referencemoves out of the path, the near-infrared energy passes through thesapphire window onto the sample, and energy that is diffuselyreflected by the sample is analyzed.

The diameters of the sphere, detector, and sample windowsize have been carefully optimized to make collection even moreefficient. The scattered near-infrared energy is collected withgreater than 95% efficiency.
