4 VARIAN, INC. Best Analytical Performance Under Real-World Conditions Real Results. Real Conditions. The industry-leading performance of Varian FT-IR spectrometers just got better with the introduction of the Varian 660/670/680-IR series. Source throughput, along with beamsplitter and detector efficiencies, has been enhanced, and instrument noise effects have been reduced. The result is superior performance and sensitivity. Even with an ATR in place, which attenuates the true energy throughput by >80%, Varian s S/N performance rivals that of other research-grade spectrometers in commonly cited open beam conditions that is, with no sample or accessory in place, only air! Easy-to-change detectors and beamsplitters facilitate quick and reproducible spectral range changeovers, for maximum productivity and confidence in your results. Internal beamsplitter storage provides a dry, maximum protection location to store beamsplitters, and provides convenience when swapping one beamsplitter for another. True digital 24-bit dynamic range Delta-Sigma A/D converter delivers maximum S/N, sensitivity, spectral accuracy and precision. The S/N Difference Open beam S/N test Without ATR Open beam S/N test With ATR Typical Relative S/N (peak-peak, 5 s) No Attentuation Other Research FT-IRs No Attentuation Varian 660-IR 75% Attentuation of High Energy IR Beams Varian 670/680-IR Addition of ATR (80% attenuation) Other Research FT-IRs Varian 660-IR Varian 670/680-IR Left: Traditional S/N specification tests are performed without a sample or sampling accessory in the instrument, so they are effectively measuring air. Right: Varian puts the reality into FT-IR by measuring S/N values under real-world conditions, so you get a true indication of what to expect when measuring your samples % Ethanol Absorbance % Ethanol Large sample compartment, with removable floor plate and cover, gives you maximum flexibility when mounting samples Wavenumber (cm -1 ) Industry-leading energy throughput allows you to quickly obtain quality data. A limit of detection of 0.04% of ethanol in water was achieved with a 15 second scan, using a single bounce diamond ATR on a Varian 670-IR. 960 Unique precision LockDown mechanism allows you to position your accessories quickly and reproducibly in the sample compartment. Spend less time on setup and more time on analysis. 4

In this example, measuring the spectrum of CO and its isotopes demonstrates the resolution and sensitivity that can be achieved in a matter of seconds. Measurements of other gases can be made in applications ranging from trace gas analysis for the environmental industry to QA/QC applications within the chemical industry. Highly efficient IR source with retro-reflection mirror, doubles source output and provides higher S/N performance without sacrificing source lifetime. Software-controlled internal attenuation wheel attenuates beam for experimental flexibility. Sealed and desiccated enclosure or full purge with purge shutter options for minimal environmental disturbances, increases the quality, reproducibility and confidence in your data. 57 mm dynamically aligned 60 air-bearing interferometer maximizes throughput and S/N performance (670/680-IR only). Step-scan extends the capabilities for probing samples (advanced PAS, polymer stretching, and TRS), resulting in comprehensive sample characterization. 5
