The MB3000 is a maintenance-free FT-IR laboratory analyzer designed for research and development, featuring a vertical, space-efficient design with a 20 x 14 cm open sample compartment and 8.7 cm beam height. It uses a patented double-pivot interferometer with permanently aligned optics, a ceramic Globar source with a 10-year expected lifetime, and a solid-state laser for metrology, eliminating consumables and purging requirements. Spectral range is 485 to 8,500 cm⁻¹ with resolution better than 0.7 cm⁻¹ and a signal-to-noise ratio of 50,000:1 (60 s, 4 cm⁻¹). The instrument weighs 24 kg (52.9 lbs) and measures 37 x 43.5 x 28 cm, operated on 100 to 240 VAC, 50/60 Hz. It includes Horizon MB FTIR software, meets TUV and CE standards, and operates in temperatures from 10 °C to 35 °C with 5% to 80% non-condensing humidity.
Easy to use, the MB3000 provides constant analysis results for years to come. It offers reliability and constant results in order to address the concerns of lab users. The MB3000 is the result of over 40 years of experience in the aerospace, academic, chemical, pharmaceutical and petrochemical industries. It is the successor to the FTLA2000 spectrometer, also developed by Dr. Buijs and marketed by Bomem inc. since 1985.
Smallest footprint.
With a vertical, space-efficient design, the MB3000 optimizes laboratory workspace and facilitates access to internal components.
No consumables
The MB3000 contains fixed components that do not wear out with use, meaning no components to replace or adjust. With the MB3000, the HeNe LASER is replaced by a solid state laser.
All optics are non-hygroscopic. Purging is not required for protection of optics.
Long-life source.
To maximize reliability, the source is operated so as to provide a 10-year expected lifetime.
Versatility at a glance
The arid-zone open sample compartment of the MB3000 addresses all the needs of the modern analytical laboratory. It can hold a wide variety of easily swappable ABB or third-party accessories that do not require alignment. The instrument can also be purged if needed.
