AELAB WQF-530A FT-IR Spectrometer for Precise Molecular Analysis

Based on more than thirty years of FTIR R&D and manufacturing experience, AELAB has launched the WQF-530A FT-IR Spectrometer with fully independent intellectual property rights. Adhering to consistent excellent quality and superior performance, the model obtains the best balance between intelligence, convenient operation, advanced performance, and low operation and maintenance cost. It is suitable for basic scientific research, production quality control, and routine analytical testing.

The AELAB WQF-530A provides high sensitivity, intelligent real-time monitoring, multiple communication options, flexible testing modes, and a powerful software workstation to support advanced molecular spectroscopy.

⚙️ Design & Construction

The WQF-530A incorporates a cube-corner Michelson interferometer with patented fixing mirror alignment technology for long-term optical stability. The Multilayer Ge coated KBr beam splitter ensures high throughput and consistent spectral performance. The high-intensity, long-lifetime air-cooled IR source delivers stable radiation output, while the upgraded structural design enhances thermal robustness. Gold-coated reflecting mirrors increase detection sensitivity.

The intelligent multi-sealed moisture-proof design integrates a large-capacity desiccant cartridge and real-time temperature/humidity monitoring to protect optical components from high humidity, temperature fluctuation, and chemical corrosion.

🔬 Working Principle / Testing Method

The WQF-530A FT-IR Spectrometer analyzes molecular vibrational characteristics through Fourier-transform infrared absorption. Infrared radiation passes through the Michelson interferometer, producing interference patterns that are converted into high-resolution spectra using digital Fourier transformation. The spectrometer supports wavenumber scanning from 7800 cm⁻¹ to 350 cm⁻¹, with a resolution of 0.85 cm⁻¹ and accuracy of ±0.01 cm⁻¹. Real-time ADC processing, DLATGS detection, and digital filtering ensure precise spectral data acquisition.
