Basic Operation of FTIR Machine - Bruker Tensor 27

Welcome to AMC-Tec! In this video, we demonstrate the basic operation of the Bruker Tensor 27 FTIR spectrometer, a powerful tool widely used for chemical analysis across multiple fields. Whether you’re new to FTIR or looking to refine your understanding, this step-by-step guide walks you through each component, setup, and measurement process to get accurate, reproducible results.

Starting with an overview of the Tensor 27’s main components – the IR source, interferometer, and detector – we explore how to set up and run measurements in both transmission and ATR (Attenuated Total Reflectance) modes. You’ll see how to install the appropriate sample compartment, set measurement parameters in OPUS software, and handle background and sample scans. We also touch on features like Atmospheric Compensation and peak picking for efficient, detailed spectral analysis.

This video provides practical insights into operating the Tensor 27 in real lab scenarios, from understanding the beam path to comparing spectra between modes. Perfect for beginners and those refreshing their skills, this demonstration aims to make FTIR spectroscopy accessible and understandable.
