Analyzing ageing rosebuds using ATR
The Quest ATR is great for analyzing plant bud samples because:
- samples can be analyzed without altering their state through pellet pressing, or other sample preparation
- even awkward samples are easy to introduce and can be cleaned away quickly, giving users a high throughput
- changeable diamond, diamond extended-range, ZnSe and germanium pucks offer users a very broad IR spectral range
We also analyzed cannabis using the Quest ATR spectrometer accessory
As ATR-FTIR spectroscopy is ideal for the analysis of plants, the emerging cannabis market is a great application for the Quest ATR spectrometer accessory.
The Quest is great for analyzing plant-life, such as cannabis
User reviews of the Quest ATR
- 'We have been testing liquids, powders (deposits) and plastics with absolutely no problems for the last 3 years' – Marco Nunes of Cariri
- 'Of particular note is the use of all-reflective optics and the availability of an extended-range diamond option' – Philip Ash of University of Oxford
- 'These diamond ATR units are practically indestructible and extremely easy to clean and can be swapped out for liquid or gas cells very easily' – Susan Gannon of University of Glasgow
- 'Perfect for organic chemistry practicals' – Peter Brien of Trinity College Dublin
Soil analysis is possible using ATR. We analyzed heated soil using a Golden Gate ATR spectrometer accessory fitted with the heatable option.

The Golden Gate ATR comes with either a ZnSe or KRS-5 lens and offers eight analysis options:
- Standard Diamond Golden Gate
- Heated Golden Gate
- Reaction Cell Golden Gate
- Low Temperature Golden Gate
- Germanium Golden Gate
- High Temperature Golden Gate
- Micro-Specular Golden Gate
- Super-Critical Fluid Golden Gate
Analyzing soil with the Golden Gate ATR is recommended because the samples can be analyzed in their native state, with little or no sample preparation, allowing on-site analysis of unspoiled soil samples. The diamond puck offers a broad IR spectrum range and the fast sample introduction/cleaning gives the user a very fast throughput
The Golden Gate ATR is Specac's tried-and-tested, industry-standard spectrometer accessory for the spectroscopic analysis of samples in the mid-and-far infrared.
User reviews of the Golden Gate ATR
- 'I've been using one of these for over 20 years now, producing excellent quality spectra for all types of materials from corrosive, volatile liquids to hard, crystalline solids and everything between. It is a very robust product, very simple-to-use and keep clean. Can be used in both research and QC/factory environments' – Dave Clark of International Paint
- 'Very easy-to-use ATR, high quality IR spectra produced, using only a few mg' – Sami Goussous of Cambridge University
- 'The Heated Golden Gate ATR Accessory is very useful, stable and lasts long. It is very easy-to-use and does great job' – Iman Khazal of University of York
- 'Had two of these for over 10 years. They have been robust, easy-to-use, reliable, accurate and provide rapid results' – Gordon Allison of Aberystwyth University
