(Heated Golden Gate ATR) Analyse Heated Soil with the Golden Gate

Soil can be analyzed at a range of temperatures easily with the Specac Golden Gate ATR accessory.

FTIR spectroscopy can be used to study the chemical profile of soil samples, providing information on both the organic and inorganic components. In particular, you can determine what natural chemicals
or artificial contaminants are present in soil quickly after sampling and testing at various temperatures.

When coupled with an Attenuated Total Reflectance (ATR) accessory, spectroscopic measurements are fast
and repeatable. The ability to distinguish different soil types makes the ATR technique invaluable for forensic, environmental, agricultural and other applications.
The Golden Gate requires minimal sample preparation. Pellet-pressing and grinding are not necessary, the ATR accessory accepts samples in their native state. This particular note demonstrates how the Golden Gate ATR accessory (with a heated top-plate) can be used to record spectra of soil samples at different temperatures.
