A2 Technologies to Launch Revolutionary Addition to its Range of Portable FT-IR Spectrometers at PITTCON 2008
DANBURY, CT, (January 24, 2008) - A2 Technologies, the innovator and manufacturer of portable Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectrometers will showcase an exciting new addition to its innovative new range of FTIR spectrometers on booth #2507 at PITTCON 2008, March 2-7 2008, New Orleans, Louisiana. Further extending its range of portable FTIR spectrometers, A2 Technologies will be launching a revolutionary handheld portable FTIR spectrometer specifically designed for field-based surface analysis applications. Weighing only six pounds, the innovative light-weight analyzer can be fully operated using only one hand and is also capable of handling Attenuated Transmission Reflectance (ATR) applications for users in the general laboratory. This FTIR analyzer will be unveiled on booth #2507 at PITTCON 2008. Dr. John Seelinbinder will be presenting a product forum on behalf of A2 Technologies on this new development at PITTCON on Monday 3 March at 10.45am in Room 341.
Featuring interchangeable internal reflectance (ATR) and external reflectance sampling interfaces, this system is designed for sampling almost any material. Designed to analyze solids, pastes, gels and liquids with a traditional ATR, the novel spectrometer is also capable of analyzing large surface analysis with the A2 Technologies' unique diamond internal reflection sampling system. This highly compact spectrometer combines all the capabilities of a laboratory based FTIR with the advantages of a portable instrument that can be used in the field.
A2 Technologies will also be hosting two presentations during Pittcon 2008, 'Field Based Surface Analysis of Composite Material' which will be presented by Steve Donahue on Tuesday 4 March at 4pm and 'ExoScan - a new handheld FTIR analyzer for surface analysis'.
