In 30 seconds, identify any rubber or polymer. The CF8620 FTIR with diamond ATR is your forensic tool for competitor product analysis, incoming material verification, contamination investigation, and formulation reverse engineering. Simply press the rubber sample against the diamond crystal—no preparation, no chemicals, no waiting.

Q: How quickly can I identify an unknown rubber?
A: Place sample on ATR → Click "Collect" → Click "Search Library" → result in < 60 seconds. Even faster with the one-click ID macro.
Q: Can it identify carbon black-filled rubber?
A: Carbon black absorbs IR strongly, but the included spectral subtraction tool removes carbon black background for clearer polymer identification.
Q: Do I need liquid nitrogen?
A: No. The CF8620 uses a room-temperature DTGS detector. No cryogen costs, no LN2 logistics. Just plug in and measure.
Q: What file formats can I export?
A: SPC (universal spectroscopy format), CSV (Excel), TXT, and PDF reports. Compatible with major spectral databases.
