Thermo Electron has launched a new interactive web tool to allow online specification by prospective customers of FT-IR Spectrometers to their specific application requirements prior to purchasing.

Thermo Electron Corporation, world leader in analytical instrumentation, announces the availability of a new state-of-the-art interactive web tool that allows current and prospective customers to build an FT-IR spectrometer to their specific application requirements prior to purchasing. This web tool is the first of its kind in the industry. Designed for scientists working in pharmaceutical, chemical, QA/QC, forensics, research and academic laboratories, this build-your-own web tool will be unveiled at the Thermo Booth at the 232nd National Meeting and Exposition of the American Chemical Society (ACS), at the Moscone Center, San Francisco, on 10-14 September 2006 and is accessible via the website.

Responding to the increasing workloads of scientists, the Thermo versatile web tool saves time by allowing users to interchange a variety of parts quickly and easily, including internal spectrometer components and software options as well as accessories such as ATR, Raman and infrared microscopes.

Users are able to complete around 80% of the Nicolet 6700 FT-IR instrument specification on-line, with the option of e-mailing their selections to their local salesperson for further clarification and/or to request a quote.
