MultiLoop-MIRTM FTIR Fiber Optic Probe: Spectroscopy Outside the Box
This MultiLoop-MIR system is perfect for analyzing liquids, pastes, and soft solids outside of the FTIR spectrometer sample compartment. It is used in conjunction with the Harrick FiberMate2 or other fiber optic coupler and includes two fiber probes with a set of ten ATR loop tips. This combination is designed for spectral data collection across the entire mid-infrared region. To analyze a sample, simply dip the ATR loop tip into the sample or press it gently against the sample. The tips are easily replaced when needed. APPLICATIONS
f Multiple reflection ATR (internal reflectance) accessory.
f In-situ analysis of a wide variety of liquids, pastes, and soft solids. f Quantitative and qualitative analysis. FEATURES f Multiple reflection ATR sampling outside the FTIR spectrometer.
f Effectively provides two reflections when compared to ATR with ZnSe at 45º. f Wavelength range: 6500 cm-1 to 600 cm-1:
f Chalcogenide glass probe for use from 6500 to 1700 cm-1.
f Polycrystalline Silver halide probe for use from 2000 to 600 cm-1.
f Sampling loop tips designed for the full spectral range of 6500 to 600 cm-1:
f Leak-free for analysis of liquids. f Readily replaceable. f Made from silver halide fiber material.
f Easy to use. f Suitable for aqueous solutions and organic samples. f Standard probe length of 1meter allows sampling outside the spectrometer sample compartment.
f Designed for use with DTGS or MCT detectors. f SMA connectors for easy connection to fiber optic couplers.
f Operable from room temperature to 100°C. f Use with the Harrick FiberMate2™ or FiberMate™ fiber optic coupler for purged operation in most FT-IR spectrometers. INCLUDES

This system, the MultiLoop-MIR, features two fiber optic
probes with readily replaceable sampling tips. One probe operates over the fingerprint region, from 2000 to 600 cm-1,
while the second covers the remaining mid-IR, from 6500 to
1700 cm-1. The probes connect to a fiber optic coupler, such
as Harrick’s FiberMate2, using standard SMA connectors.
Probe tips are affixed onto the end of the probes to provide a
leak-free probe assembly that can be dipped into or pressed
gently into liquid, pastes, and soft solids. These tips are the only part of the MultiLoop-MIR that comes in contact with the
sample, and they are easily replaced as needed.

MIR with the FiberMate2 (see Figure 2). For these
measurements, the spectrometer set for 64 scans at 8cm-1

using the two fiber probes and tips. The chalcogenide probe
was used for 4000cm-1 to 1520cm-1 and the silver halide probe
for the 1530cm-1 to 600cm-1 region. The spectra were baseline
corrected and joined together to show the full spectral range.
