I wouldn't want to teach FTIR without this.
Teaching for analytical and organic chemistry
The Quest Diamond ATR is a great addition to FTIR for teaching as it is durable and high throughput. Students find it easy to master using the instrument when they don't have to use salt plates or make pellets. It has increased student understanding for FTIR spectra and sampling processes. I recommend anyone wishing to teach FTIR to undergraduate students to consider this product for improved sampling and increasing speed of samples.

The Quest™ ATR is a single-reflection ATR accessory from Specac designed for routine use in academic and industrial laboratories. With features designed to inspire confidence in the quality of results and reliability in use, this product sets the benchmark in performance and value in FTIR-ATR Spectroscopy.
Three key features of the Quest ™ ATR:
- Monolithic diamond ATR crystals that are both chemically resilient and scratch-resistant, as well as extremely tough, being able to sustain the high point loads encountered when sampling hard, irregular solids.
- Interchangeable crystal pucks. Our ever-growing range of options currently includes ZnSe for soft materials, Ge for highly absorbing samples, and options for liquid containment and specular reflectance.
- Repeatable and reproducible sample loads are enabled by the pressure tower. This has an audible 'click' to indicate the preset pressure limit and features a swing anvil arm to allow easy access to the ATR crystal puck.
- Both plane and pellet anvils are provided with the accessory to allow analysis of samples of various shapes. These anvils are easily interchangeable and stored on the top plate when not in use.
- Now available with high temperature diamond and ZnSe pucks for analysis of samples up to 110 degrees Celsius.
Detection of polymer impurities in recycled plastics using chemometric analysis of ATR spectroscopy
Learn how the Specac Quest™ can be used to quickly identify impurities in your plastic materials.
As global concerns over plastic waste and landfill overflow grow, the need for efficient recycling solutions has never been greater. One critical challenge in plastic recycling is accurately identifying and separating different polymer types to ensure high-quality reuse. Despite best efforts, contamination remains a persistent issue—making precise impurity detection essential.
