The Thermo Scientific Nicolet iS50 FT-IR Spectrometer with the Thermo Scientific iS50 NIR Module and Thermo Scientific iS50 Raman Module is a fully integrated multi-spectroscopic platform that combines FT-IR, Near-Infrared (NIR), and Raman spectroscopy into a single, highly automated analytical system. Designed for advanced research, quality control, and industrial laboratories, the Nicolet iS50 delivers exceptional flexibility by allowing users to perform comprehensive material characterization with minimal sample preparation and maximum workflow efficiency.
At the heart of the system is the Automated Multi-range capability, powered by the Thermo Scientific Nicolet iS50 ABX Automated Beamsplitter Exchanger. With the touch of a button, the instrument automatically configures itself for near-, mid-, or far-infrared analysis without manual intervention. This intelligent automation enables complete sample characterization—including crystallinity studies, bulk material analysis, and compound identification—while preserving the instrument’s optical alignment, seals, desiccation, and purge integrity.
The integrated Nicolet iS ATR provides immediate access to attenuated total reflectance (ATR) analysis without changing accessories or interrupting other workflows. Its advanced reflective optics and proprietary detector allow rapid analysis of powders, liquids, gels, pastes, polymers, and inorganic materials using both mid-IR and far-IR spectroscopy. The dedicated ATR remains permanently installed, leaving the main sample compartment available for additional accessories and analytical techniques.
Complementing the FT-IR capabilities, the integrated iS50 Raman Module enables fast, non-destructive Raman spectroscopy for molecular fingerprinting, crystallinity analysis, inorganic material characterization, mapping, and automated well-plate screening. Users can switch between ATR and Raman analysis in seconds, providing complementary chemical information from the same sample without time-consuming reconfiguration.
The dedicated iS50 NIR Module further expands the instrument’s capabilities by integrating integrating sphere and fiber optic sampling options within a compact module. It enables rapid one-touch data collection, direct analysis through containers without sample preparation, consistent measurements of heterogeneous solids, and convenient in-situ analysis of both solid and liquid samples.
