varian scimitar 800 ftir
anyone got one, anyone have anything to report regarding them, do they have a matchable library available for them, is this hideously expensive, is it
borrowable. i haven't run an ftir for a decade and someone (with a vested interest in the sale) was trying to tell me that ATR (previously used for
polymer films largely) was now used for solid samples instead of pressing a disc (i had asked about the press, pie warmer, vac pump etc, which
clearly they did not have).
I could be wrong perhaps a further fourier transform of the fourier transfor allows you to not even need a sample, its just knows....lol...still i
have to ask because i don't actually know.
Everyone is still pressing tedious tedious Kbr plates when running solid organic samples in a ftir, yes, or has there been a innovation that i
missed...

I don't know about this particular model, but I can confirm that ATR is the way to go nowadays. It's as simple as pressing a few mg of your sample
onto the lens and running it. I've used it many times for small molecules and it yields nice clean spectra very quickly. Be free of those tedious KBr
plates!
