How to make FTIR spectrum sharper ?

How to use FTIR for monitoring used oil?

How to maintain FTIR?

Answer
Prepare good samples (not mixed with impurities absorption of light in the survey area)
Can set resolution (Resolution) in the Advance of Measument setup.

If using the ATR: clean surface measurement sample window after each use
If you use the transmittance: clean the chamber after each use, avoid dust in the chamber
Preservation equipment in humidity below 60%
This is the process of automatic test hardware each boot. If any problems part, on the software
will have a red or yellow warning depending on condition .
- Yellow light :
1. the OPUS status light becomes yellow If the desiccant is saturated and cannot further absorb
any humidity, it has to be replaced.

How to identified problem in FTIR and how to solve it?

2. IR source has not yet reached its operating temperature

- Red light :
Spectrometer malfunction, defective spectrometer component

Can optimize the settings by changing the parameters like Resolution (resolution), scan time
(Number is scanned) in position measument Advance in Setup. However changing these
parameters will change the pattern scan time.
To check Polystyrene is in good or not? We can only send to the manufacturer for checking. Or
an agency that has the device is working correctly for inspection.

What kind of problem that usually happen in FTIR?

How to solve the problem regarding to question in no 9?

Normally, the life of laser source 2500h (or about 4 to 5 years). If Weak laser source machine
will have a warning, require replacement.
Use a long time, silica gel inside the machine (in the back) can be filled with water, less
effective. Humidity in the machine rise up too high, it will warning and require replacement.
For the machine user and window beam splitter by KBR may be broken or blurred due to
intolerable humidity, be replaced.
