Micro FT-IR imaging measurement

It is possible to visualize the distribution of substances within the specified plane! Suitable for evaluating the diffusion state of substances, etc.

We would like to introduce our "Microscopic FT-IR Imaging Measurement." It allows for the visualization of the distribution of substances as a two-dimensional image within a specified plane. It becomes possible to evaluate changes in the distribution of substances that are difficult to assess with regular point measurements through visible images. [Analysis Suitable for Imaging Measurement] ■ Evaluation of the diffusion state of substances (assessing the mixing of substances in a mixture, identifying the locations of impurities, etc.) ■ Evaluation of molecular structural changes (assessing the degree of oxidation from the surface to the interior of resin products, etc.) ■ Qualitative analysis of micro foreign substances that are difficult to sample *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

Essential materials alongside metals and inorganic materials! Introducing examples of analysis and evaluation services for organic materials.

Organic materials such as solvents, additives, pharmaceuticals, and plastics are essential materials alongside metals and inorganic materials. They have a wide variety of types due to the combination of light elements, and their specificity is manifested through structure, intermolecular forces, and electron behavior. However, it seems that chemical instrumentation analysis and evaluation are necessary for a fundamental understanding of their properties. This document presents case studies of analysis and evaluation services for organic materials. [Contents] ■ FT-IR Analysis ■ GC-MS Analysis ■ Molecular Weight Distribution Evaluation by GPC (SEC) *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Introducing a method for analyzing the vicinity of the surface through total internal reflection of infrared light by closely adhering micro ATR crystals!

Based on imaging obtained from FT-IR spectra using the ATR method, cross-sectional analysis of organic multilayer films such as aluminum laminate film can be performed. The ATR method (Attenuated Total Reflection) is a technique that involves closely attaching a micro ATR crystal to the sample, allowing for analysis near the surface through total internal reflection of infrared light. Due to the influence of the refractive index of the crystal applied to the sample, the apparent spatial resolution is enhanced, enabling the analysis of smaller foreign substances. 【Features of the ATR Method】 ■ A technique that analyzes near the surface through total internal reflection of infrared light ■ The apparent spatial resolution is enhanced due to the influence of the refractive index of the crystal applied to the sample ■ Enables the analysis of smaller foreign substances *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.

We will introduce the pre-treatment for cross-sectional observation using devices such as band saws for sample cutting!

We would like to introduce the pre-treatment for cross-sectional observation (sample cutting and resin embedding) conducted by Aites Co., Ltd. We use cutting equipment suitable for cutting large substrates and thick components, such as the band saw "HOZAN K-100" and the IsoMet "Buehler Low Speed Saw" for sample cutting. With the "HOZAN K-100," samples up to approximately X150mm, Y230mm, and Z70mm in size can be cut. Additionally, after cutting, the samples are embedded in epoxy resin or similar materials, but it is also possible to embed in resin before cutting. 【Product Lineup】 ■ Band Saw ■ IsoMet ■ Multifunctional Diamond Wire Saw *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Depth-direction measurements using Raman spectroscopy! Material analysis of each layer is possible from the surface of multilayer films.

Our "Micro Raman Spectrophotometer" employs a confocal optical system, allowing for the adjustment of the focal position in the depth direction, similar to a microscope, enabling material analysis of each layer from the surface of multilayer films. Using the confocal function of the micro Raman spectrophotometer, the focus of the Raman laser light can be varied in the depth direction. Additionally, by continuously changing the focal position, it is possible to acquire spectra continuously in the depth direction. 【Features】 ■ Adoption of a confocal optical system ■ Enables material analysis of each layer from the surface of multilayer films ■ Capable of varying the focus of the Raman laser light in the depth direction ■ Allows for continuous acquisition of spectra in the depth direction *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

―― Is attendance management becoming a "burden" without you realizing it? A seminar to quickly learn about common issues and their solutions ―― We will be holding our attendance management web seminar in October, which takes place several times a year! The content is new, so whether you have participated in our webinars before or not, please feel free to join us. Date and Time: October 15 (Wednesday) 13:00- October 22 (Wednesday) 11:00- *Both days will cover the same content *Please check the link below for registration. In this seminar, we will recreate common situations in the workplace in a short drama format for easy understanding, and introduce specific solutions to each issue. This content is especially recommended for those who think, "I'm not struggling now, but I want to know information for the future." Common workplace "situations" can be a trigger for improvement. We will clearly present the challenges and countermeasures of attendance management. Recommended for: ❏ Those who take a long time to compile monthly attendance ❏ Those who tend to postpone compliance with legal revisions ❏ Those who currently have no major complaints but want to know hints for improvement ❏ Those who want to refer to initiatives and examples from other companies
