Axiom Analytical has introduced the DMD-373 diamond ATR probe, which is similar to the existing DMD-370 but in a smaller (23 mm) diameter, making it suitable for a wide range of laboratory and on-line process applications. The mid-IR transmission of the new probe exceeds 10%, providing high performance with FT-IR spectrometers with room-temperature detectors. In common with the DMD-370, the new probe features a diamond ATR element, Hastelloy C-276 construction and energised PTFE seals, allowing it to function over wide ranges of temperatures and pressures, and with aggressive chemical systems, including strong acids and bases. The use of metallic internal lightguides provides performance stability and long term reliability.
