Description

Sample Preparation and Loading Kit – The Easiest Way to Work With Powder Samples

The Sample Preparation Kit makes the handling of powder samples for diffuse reflectance sampling easy. It includes a round mounting base and a matching tray with an opening which accommodates sampling cups. The cup is placed in the assembly and overfilled with sample, and then excess powder is levelled-off with a spatula. The overflow is retained on the tray and can be easily returned to the sample container or disposed.
Two standard sampling cups offer 0.18 and 0.03 cubic centimetre capacities (10 mm diameter/2.3 mm depth and 6.0 mm diameter/1.6 mm depth). The required approximate weight of the sample/KBr mixture is 450 mg for the large cup and 80 mg for the small one.
Please note, the Sample Preparation and Loading Kit is included with PIKE Technologies EasiDiff and DiffusIR diffuse reflectance accessories.

Abrasion Sampling Kit – The Plastic Bumper Sampler
The Abrasion Sampling Kit consists of an abrasion disk holder and a set of silicone carbide (SiC) and diamond disks. Sampling is performed by abrading the surface of the investigated substance with a selected disk. The disk is placed in the accessory and a diffuse reflectance spectrum of the material is collected. This method is particularly useful for the analysis of large painted surfaces (e.g. car panels) and other awkward objects.
