Jasco FT/IR-4x

ASCO has its roots in the Institute of Optics – Tokyo University of Education which developed Japan’s first infrared spectrophotometer, Model DS-101, in 1954. Since the establishment of the company in 1958, they have inherited the spirit of their predecessors in infrared spectrophotometry and have completed the FT/IR-4X as the culmination of their work.

The size is only 386 (W) × 479 (D) mm, and we have also achieved a 30 % reduction in power consumption compared to conventional models. It is research-grade in performance, functionality and expandability, and supports high resolution, high S/N, high sensitivity detectors, extending measurement wavenumber, microscopy with linear array detector, and rapid scan. The sample compartment is 200 mm wide, the same width as that of a large model, and can accommodate conventional accessories, including those from third parties.

Class-leading performance in FTIR Spectroscopy

Enhancing robustness and expandability

The FT/lR-4X is a compact unit with a high robustness. The main optical components are guaranteed for 3 years. The expandability is also the same as research grade-class.

• Maintenance-free design
• Self-diagnosis function
• Base isolation structure
• Outstanding expandability to support a variety of applications

Highly sophisticated and functional optics

• Specially controlled diode laser (3 years warranty)
• Automatic aperture switching wheel
• Automatic validation wheel
• Compatible with microscope
• Large space sample compartment
• Sealed structure interferometer
• Long life and high-intensity ceramic source (3 years warranty)
• High sensitivity electrically cooled DLATGS detector

Improved software for performing same analysis as experts

Spectra Manager Ver. 2.5 is equipped with a navigation function that allows even those who are unfamiliar with IR analysis to perform measurements in the same way as experts. The parameters set by the navigation function enables starting measurement by simply opening them after registering in the method.

Development philosophy

For ease of use to improve work efficiency and obtain high-quality data: Better operability on ATR PRO 4X/VIEW; User guide function: Auto validation; and Preset background measurement function.
