FTIR Systems enable in situ monitoring of chemical reactions.

Press Release Summary:



Entry level ReactIR(TM) 15m is suited for organic chemist who needs chemical information, while high end ReactIR(TM) 45m is tool for chemical engineers and technologists who focus on process optimization and characterization. Designed for monitoring reactions that involve nitriles, ketenes, metal carbonyls, or isocyanates, SiComp AgX FiberConduit(TM) is silicon-based ATR sensor integrated with AgX fiber technology.



Original Press Release:



New In Situ FTIR Reaction Monitoring Systems



Dec 6, 2007

Columbia, MD, USA - METTLER TOLEDO introduces a new line of entry and high level ReactIR(TM) reaction monitoring products - ReactIR(TM) 15m and ReactIR(TM) 45m. Each of these ReactIR(TM) tools is designed with specific users in mind.

The entry level ReactIR(TM) 15m is ideally suited for the Organic Chemist who needs reliability, ease of use and a tool that provides chemical information, rather than just data.

ReactIR 15m for Organic Chemists

The high end ReactIR(TM) 45m is a tool for Chemical Engineers and Technologists who focus on process optimization and characterization - where long term robustness, extreme sampling technology flexibility/applicability and performance are critical to Process Development success.

ReactIR 45m for Chemical Engineers and Technologists

Advancements in our AgX (Silver Halide) FiberConduit(TM) technology led to the release of our new SiComp AgX FiberConduit(TM) - a silicon-based ATR sensor integrated with AgX fiber technology. This is the first and only silicon-based AgX fiber technology available. Silicon ATR sensors are useful for monitoring reactions that involve nitriles, ketenes, metal carbonyls, isocyanates - to name a few . The aforementioned reactions are difficult to measure and monitor by other sensor materials, such as diamond. Coupled with AgX, the SiComp FiberConduit(TM) is flexible, easy-to-interface with your reactor and provides enhanced measurement reproducibility over traditional mirrored conduit technology.

The new ReactIR(TM) tools are developed on a common platform that results in an easy upgrade path from the entry to high end level, as well as extensibility with respect to novel sampling technologies and system options - including software driven system alignment, temp trending with reaction data, and multiplex capabilities. Coupling these new ReactIR(TM) products with the field proven Comp(TM) ATR probe technology and the successful and powerful iC IR(TM) software brings the Chemist and Chemical Engineer a reason to have this system and probe in their reactor - each and every time they run chemistry.
