FTIR-8400S
Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrophotometer
Shimadzu was the first company to offer dynamic alignment as a standard feature in an affordable FTIR
spectrometer. With state-of-the-art technology, the Shimadzu dynamic alignment system continuously
maintains optimal alignment during data acquisition, ensuring consistently reproducible spectra without
the need for tedious mechanical adjustments.
FTIR-8400S is combined with the IRsolution - a 32 bit high performance FTIR software - to analyze your
samples easily and securely.
