Agilent 4500t FTIR with a TumblIR
The Agilent 4500t FTIR instrument can be provided with a dedicated
sampling interface called the TumblIR accessory. The TumblIR is a
proprietary liquid transmission sampling accessory designed and
manufactured exclusively by Agilent to optimize the analysis of many
liquid, paste or gel samples. When comparing the TumblIR to
traditional liquid cells for general analytical laboratories, the
TumblIR makes it much easier to prepare, load, analyze and clean the
sample.
The TumblIR operates in two modes: sample loading/cleaning, and
sample analysis.
In the sample loading and cleaning mode, the TumblIR is rotated so
the accessory window is facing up (see Figure 3). It is in this position
that the sample mounting area can be easily accessed for loading the
sample into place and for cleaning the sampling surfaces before the
next sample is analyzed.

Close the device by rotating the arm clockwise until it clicks into
place (see Figure 4).
Click the NEXT button on the software screen to proceed with
the analysis as shown below.
For detailed software instructions for measuring a sample, refer
to the MicroLab Software Operation Manual.
After completing the sample measurement, immediately clean the
sample from the accessory using the instructions provided above.
It is important to make sure both the sample mounting window
and the accessory window are free of any residue from the
previous sample.
For detailed software instructions on reviewing results and
handling sample data, refer to the MicroLab Software Operation
Manual.
