Nicolet FT-Raman The Nicolet FT-Raman Spectroscopy System incorporates innovative design features and significant performance advantages over other available instrumentation. FT-Raman spectroscopy is now a viable technique that offers important advantages over the traditional dispersive technique, making Raman spectroscopy applicable to a wider range of sample types. Two important advantages include the profound decreases in fluorescence and thermal decomposition effects. Further advantages include the inherent throughput, multiplex, and wavenumber accuracy advantages, and the ability to collect high-resolution Raman spectra in a short time. Nicolet has optimized all design aspects of this FT-Raman system in order to fully realize these intrinsic FT spectroscopy advantages. Features of the Nicolet FT-Raman system include: • The proprietary Nic-Notch™ filter system performs very efficient Rayleigh line supression, allowing measurement of Raman shifts very close to the Rayleigh line. • Simultaneous collection of Stokes data and anti-Stokes data. • Excellent sensitivity. • Sampling versatility and convenience. • Both FT-Infrared and FT-Raman spectra can be acquired on the same sample with the same Nicolet system in only a few minutes. Since these two techniques give complementary information, this is one of the principle advantages of the Nicolet FT-Raman instrument. The Nicolet FT-Raman system provides the highest quality data, while offering experimental versatility, convenience, and ease-of-use. This system offers the vibrational spectroscopistformidable capabilities for solving challenging research problems.
FT-Raman spectrum of l,4-Bis(2-methylstyryl) benzene, both Stokes and anti-Stokes regions, shows excellent Rayleigh line rejection and signal-to-noise performance, and Raman shifts within 75 cm ' ' of the Rayleigh line.

Nicolet IR Microspectroscopy Nicolet offers a complete line of IR microscope products, from the most advanced research level to routine IR microsampling. The range of microscope offerings includes the Research IR-Plan®, the Analytical Microscope with redundant aperturing®, and the Laboratory Microscope for routine single-aperture operation. Nicolet's microspectroscopy advantages include the patented 20-hour MCT-A detector, 18-bit signal digitization, optimal hardware configuration, unique multi-dimensional mapping software, and extensive applications and service support. These features place the Nicolet IR Microspectroscopy system in the forefront of the industry. In the example below, an x,y motorized stage controlled by the FT-IR was used to automatically collect the data necessary to delineate the distribution of a coating on a metal substrate. The mapping software shows how a component of the coating varies in concentration with x,y position as the spectroscopist rotates the displayed image on the FT-IR monitor.

Nicolet TGA/FT-IR The Nicolet TGA/FT-IR system couples FT-IR -with thermogravimetric analysis, and is designed and optimized for the Du Pont TGA instruments. The resulting system combines the positive identification power of FT-IR with the qualitative and quantitative weight-loss information from TGA. Used with Nicolet's Specific Infrared Detection (SID™ ) software, this system provides a remarkably sensitive and selective means for analyzing evolved gases from the TGA instrument. T h e TGA/FT-IR package includes a unique heated flow cell and the SID software with communication of temperature, time, and derivative data from the TGA system. TGA/FT-IR has been found to be beneficial in solving a wide variety of complex chemical analysis problems such as determining decomposition pathways and studying the thermal stability of materials.
