Vapor Phase Infrared Detector (IRD 3)

Molecular and Isomeric Identification for Gas Chromatography
The IRD 3 is an analytical infrared instrument that combines the separating power of the Gas Chromatograph with the molecular identification of FTIR.  Using a proprietary and internal light pipe interface, the IRD 3 provides a Vapor-Phase identification of your sample without the worry of polymorphism found in solid-phase systems. The IRD 3 KBr optics allow analysis of the full mid-infrared region (550-4000 cm-1) while ZnSe based systems stop at 650 cm-1.  A ZnSe based FTIR system loses more than 10% of the fingerprint region which is critical to the accurate identification of isomers. The IRD 3 provides structural and positional information to help the MSD resolve your isomeric challenges.  

Vapor-phase FTIR

• Pseudo black-body IR source provides a larger energy curve than traditional sources
• KBr optics allow analysis of full mid-infrared region (550-4000cm-1)
• Long-life HeNe Laser
• A heated capillary flow cell
• Highest sensitivity MCT IR detector available
• Low Maintenance - No moving parts, No vacuum pump
• Smallest footprint available, < 9" wide 
• Light pipe length optimizes chromatography
• 1mm optics and MCT detector designed to deliver the Hirschfield Advantage - reduced noise for higher sensitivity
• Seamless HW and SW integration with Agilent GC and GC-MS systems
