Pellet Preparation for IR Spectroscopy |
Applies high pressure to create homogenous, disc-shaped pellets (KBr pellets) from powdered samples for analysis in Infrared (IR) spectrometers. |
Improved Sample Homogeneity |
Uniform pressure distribution ensures consistent sample composition throughout the pellet, leading to more reliable and reproducible IR spectra. |
Wide Range of Sample Compatibility (in most models) |
Accommodates various sample types, including organic, inorganic, and polymeric materials, by adjusting pressure settings or using specialized dies. |
Easy Operation (in most models) |
Hydraulic presses often have user-friendly interfaces and simple procedures for loading samples, applying pressure, and ejecting pellets. |
Safety Features (in most models) |
May incorporate pressure relief valves and safety shields to minimize operational risks. |
Increased Efficiency (compared to manual presses) |
Hydraulic presses deliver faster and more consistent pressure application compared to manual presses, improving workflow efficiency. |
