The Golden Gate® is a robust option for demanding single-reflection ATR applications. It features a brazed diamond ATR crystal and a signature “Golden Gate” sample loading bridge. More advanced top-plate assemblies are available for in-situ, high- and low-temperature work.
Key FeaturesO
• Monolithic diamond ATR The diamond crystal is brazed into a tungsten carbide mounting to achieve the highest possible physical and chemical resilience.
• Robust sampling top-plates The stainless-steel top-plate joins the diamond crystal and the loading bridge into one integral part that can withstand anything the lab throws at it. There are also top-plate options for in-situ sampling at sub-zero or high temperatures up to 300 °C.
• Signature bridge design Up to 80 lbs force can be applied to solid samples, ensuring the firmest possible contact to the diamond.
• Sapphire anvil The standard anvil tip for loading solid samples is made from durable sapphire and is self-levelling to deal with irregularly shaped solids. There are also anvils for dealing with polymer beads, wires, and textile fibres.
More InfoO
Durable diamond ATR Specac’s Golden Gate™ ATR is a high-performance single reflection monolithic diamond ATR sampling accessory, featuring a diamond ATR element metal-bonded into a tungsten carbide mount, providing outstanding durability and exceptional chemical resistance. The robust design, strength, and inherent inertness of the Golden Gate™ diamond ATR element allows the spectral analysis of abrasive, hard, reactive, or corrosive samples. Focusing optics The Golden Gate uses focusing lenses to achieve a tightly focused beam on the diamond ATR crystal.
