COSY90

COSY90 is a compact, portable spectrometer designed for a range of analytical applications. It utilizes Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy to analyze the vibrational modes of molecules, providing information about their chemical composition and structure. The instrument is known for its ease of use and robust design, making it suitable for both laboratory and field measurements.

The COSY90 features a Michelson interferometer at its core, which generates an interferogram as the sample is scanned. This interferogram is then mathematically transformed using a Fourier transform algorithm to produce a spectrum. The spectral range typically covers the mid-infrared region, from approximately 4000 to 400 wavenumbers, allowing for the identification of a wide variety of organic and inorganic compounds.

Key features of the COSY90 include its small footprint, low power consumption, and quick startup time. It often comes equipped with interchangeable sampling accessories, such as transmission cells, diffuse reflectance accessories, and attenuated total reflectance (ATR) probes, enabling analysis of solids, liquids, and gases. The instrument's software provides tools for spectral acquisition, processing, and library searching, facilitating compound identification and quantitative analysis. COSY90 has found applications in areas like environmental monitoring, quality control, and research.
