3.Product Features

Advanced Technology and Mature, Well-Integrated Design

The ZL-3080 Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrometer incorporates advanced foreign technology and draws on the world’s most cutting-edge design concepts. Its performance and key technical specifications have reached the level of comparable international products.

• The interferometer employs gold-coated reflective mirrors with large aperture diameters for both the moving and fixed mirrors, delivering exceptional energy throughput.
• The off-axis mirrors are manufactured using SPDT (Single Point Diamond Turning) technology, ensuring superior optical efficiency and excellent system consistency.
• Key components are installed with pin-alignment positioning, eliminating the need for manual adjustments, which significantly enhances instrument stability and reduces maintenance costs.
• The intelligent human-machine interaction design enables users to become proficient quickly, regardless of their prior experience with FTIR spectrometers.
• An exclusive full-process spectral data acquisition preview monitoring mode provides real-time visibility throughout the entire collection process.
• The push-pull sample compartment door design effectively minimizes interference from ambient water vapor and carbon dioxide, thereby improving the reliability of experimental results.
• The oversized sample compartment facilitates convenient integration with various accessories.
• The instrument features a compact and lightweight design, offering easy installation, simple operation, and low maintenance. With a total weight of only 14 kg, it saves valuable laboratory bench space.

Safety, Stability, and Easy Maintenance

• The high-efficiency, energy-saving electronic system design operates at less than 30 W under normal working conditions, ensuring green, safe, and energy-efficient performance.
• The sealed interferometer design includes an automatic protection alert system. The humidity observation window is tilted forward at a 7‑degree angle, and the humidity indicator card uses a red-to-blue color-change scheme, which is ergonomically optimized and easy to read. The desiccant can be replaced without opening the instrument cover, simplifying maintenance. In addition, the beam splitter is equipped with an anti-moisture film, and an oversized desiccant container is provided, multiplying the moisture protection capability.
• Key components are imported:

– The interferometer uses a plane-mirror (non-oscillating dual-moving-mirror), electromagnetically driven Michelson interferometer with continuous dynamic adjustment functionality, eliminating the need for optical compensation. The system energy is automatically optimized without manual intervention.

– A high-sensitivity imported DLATGS detector with an anti-moisture film.

– A high-energy, high-efficiency, long-life imported ceramic light source.

– A high-performance imported VCSEL laser.

– Imported special steel guide rails with heavy load capacity and ultra-low friction, ensuring data stability and reproducibility.

Powerful and Intelligent Software Design

• The intelligent human-machine interaction and operational guidance design enable users to become proficient quickly, regardless of their prior experience with FTIR software.
• Spectral libraries: The system provides a conventional standard spectral library of approximately 1,800 spectra, as well as a variety of specialized infrared spectral libraries (totaling about 220,000 spectra) covering a wide range of industries. In addition to routine searching, users can also define and search custom libraries flexibly and conveniently. Available libraries include: Pharmacopoeia of the People’s Republic of China, National Veterinary Pharmacopoeia, Rubber, Gas, Polymer, Proteins and Amino Acids, Forensic Science (hazardous substances, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, etc.), Inorganics, Organics, Solvents, Food Additives, Flavors and Fragrances, Coatings, and more.
• Full-process spectral data acquisition preview monitoring mode provides real-time oversight throughout the collection process.
• Functions include data acquisition, data processing, spectral library searching, and spectral interpretation. The entire software is fully localized in Chinese, and spectra can be annotated in Chinese. The system displays the current operational status in real time, providing live readings of current, voltage, and temperature values for major components, as well as fault diagnosis and step‑by‑step guidance for troubleshooting.
• A high-sensitivity spectral comparison software module is available for correlation analysis between different samples and multiple reference spectra, including standard QC/QA comparison and high-sensitivity comparison.
• Spectra can be directly exported in JCAMP format as well as other vendor-specific spectral formats. Comprehensive report generation templates and an electronic laboratory notebook function are also included.

High-Performance Electronic System

The system features a 24‑bit, 500 kHz A/D converter and a high-speed USB 2.0 interface (compatible with USB 3.0), enabling real-time spectral data acquisition and ensuring data authenticity and reliability.
