Product catalog summary
Overview
The IR5 is a high-performance benchtop Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectrometer developed by Edinburgh Instruments, designed for applications in pharmaceuticals, polymers, nanomaterials, and more. It offers versatility and user-friendliness, making it suitable for both analytical and research purposes.

Key Features
  • Outstanding Performance: High sensitivity and spectral resolution with a robust interferometer.
  • Photoluminescence Capability: Upgradeable with a choice of laser sources for Fourier Transform Photoluminescence (FT-PL).
  • Configurable: Option for a second detector to enhance sensitivity in specific spectral ranges.
  • User-Friendly: Simple operation suitable for all user levels.
  • Maintenance-Free: Integrated moisture control technology eliminates the need for consumables.

Performance and Upgrades
The IR5 guarantees high hardware and software performance, featuring a stable high-intensity IR source and a broadband DLaTGS detector. It offers high spectral resolution from 0.5 cm-1 to 32 cm-1 and includes a built-in humidity control system.

Spectral Range Optimisation
For enhanced sensitivity in specific spectral ranges, a second detector can be added. Options include InGaAs, InSb, or MCT detectors.

FT-PL Upgrade
The IR5 is unique in offering a Fourier Transform Photoluminescence option, allowing for combined absorption and PL spectroscopy in the MIR range. This upgrade enables faster emission spectra acquisition and reduces sample laser exposure.

Miracle Software
The Miracle software package is designed for ease of use, offering two user levels and a range of data analysis features. It supports various measurement types and includes wizards for instrument validation and photoluminescence measurement.

Accessories
  • Standard Sample Holder: Compatible with various sample types including films and gas cells.
  • ATR Sampling Accessories: Available for powders, liquids, films, and bulk samples.
  • PL Sample Holder: For photoluminescence measurements using laser excitation.
  • Temperature-Controlled ATR: For temperature-dependent FTIR measurements.

Specifications
  • Spectral Range: 8000 - 350 cm-1
  • Sensitivity: SNR ≥ 20,000:1
  • Resolution: 0.5 cm-1 to 32 cm-1
  • Source: High-intensity ceramic source
  • Detector: DLaTGS with optional upgrades

GO BEYOND FTIR ABSORPTION: FT-PL UPGRADE The IR5 is the only spectrometer in its class offering a Fourier Transform Photoluminescence (FT-PL) option (patent pending). The FT-PL upgrade transforms your IR5 into a combined absorption and PL spectrometer in the MIR range, suitable for the most demanding research applications. The FT-PL option utilises a laser attached to the side of the IR5 which you can easily exchange to access a wide range of excitation wavelengths. The PL sample holder focuses the laser beam on the sample and collects photoluminescence which is directed to the interferometer....
