The FVS-6000 vibrational circular dichroism spectrometer measures both IR absorption and VCD, and provides accurate and highly sensitive measurement in the fingerprint region. It also has several unique features such as a wide measurement range option of 4,000-750 cm-1. with a choice of detectors
Since the VCD signals in the infrared region are typically one or more orders of magnitude lower than ECD signals in the UV-Visible region, high sensitivity and stability are especially important for a VCD spectrometer.
Spectra Manager™ Suite provides a simple user interface with tools that ensure excellent VCD data acquisition and analysis. Theoretically calculated VCD spectra from ab initio calculation software (such as Schrodinger Jaguar or Gaussian) can be plotted as the theoretical spectra compared with the experimental data for further tertiary structure analysis of molecules.
Optimized Optics
The FVS-6000 optical system uses a 28 deg interferometer with gold coated corner cube mirrors for high throughput and to minimize polarization effects with reflective optics to eliminate artifacts caused by birefringence, resulting in very high-quality VCD data.
Thermal Stability
Multi-zone temperature control with feedback monitoring throughout the optical bench ensures that thermal stability is well maintained for the long-term baseline stability required for long duration measurements.. The key components of high intensity ceramic light source), photo-elastic modulator, interferometer, sample compartment and detector are separately controlled.
