Thermo Scientific Nicolet Nicolet iS5 Product Specifications

Product Specifications

The Thermo Scientific Nicolet iS5 FT-IR
spectrometer integrates high-performance
optics into a small, rugged package. This
spectrometer is perfect for use in teaching
laboratories, small industrial facilities, or
dedicated use in global manufacturing
facilities.

The Nicolet

™iS™

5 spectrometer
withstands hot, humid environments while its
user-serviceable components greatly reduce
service visits and lower maintenance costs.

The Nicolet iS5 FT-IR Spectrometer

• Affordable price

• Superior performance

• Small footprint

• Flexible sampling

Unique Optical System

The sealed and desiccated optical unit
protects the instrument from humidity and
solvent vapors. A self-compensating, dynam­ically aligned interferometer removes any
tilt and shear scanning error, automatically
tunes the instrument for best throughput and
provides analysis speed for real time survey
or screening. Diamond turned, pinned-in­place alignment-free optics guarantee long
life system performance with minimum
maintenance.

Thermo Scientific Nicolet iS5
FT-IR Spectrometer

Premium performance in a compact package

The Thermo Scientific Nicolet iS5
FT-IR spectrometer provides
superior FT-IR performance in a
compact size at an affordable
price. Combining flexible sample
handling and leading Thermo
Scientific OMNIC software, the
Nicolet iS5 spectrometer sets a
new benchmark in its class of
FT-IR instrumentation.
