IdentifyIR is a rugged,
miniaturized FT-IR (Fourier
Transform Infrared) analysis
system that is fast, easy-to-
use, and accurate. Designed
specifically for tasks performed
by organic chemists and
chemical engineers, its
ChemAssist software takes the
mystery out of IR analysis – it is
like having a team of IR experts
by your side.
IdentifyIR’s small footprint
(only 7” x 15”), sturdy all-metal
construction, and seal housing
makes it ideal for use in the hood together provide rapid results
or on the bench.
IdentifyIR uses a diamond
attenuated total reflection
(DATR) sampling interface, which
means it can rapidly analyze
any solid or liquid sample,
including caustic and corrosive
materials. The integrated 100x
video microscope facilitates
both spectral and visual
characterization of solid forms.
Video images and infrared
spectra are linked for rapid
screening of polymorphs and
solvates.
IdentifyIR and ChemAssist
for faster decision making.

ChemAssist Software
ChemAssist instrument control
and data analysis software
eliminates the need for IR
spectroscopy expertise to
obtain accurate and valuable
information about the user’s
materials and reactions.
This easy-to-learn and easy-
to-operate software includes
organic chemistry-specific task
modules for tracking chemical
changes, characterizing solid
forms, and identifying and
verifying materials.
Each task module features
customizable, one-click report
generation.
