SEIRAS
Surface Enhanced Infrared Absorption Spectroscopy is a variation of infrared spectroscopy where signal enhancement is achieved by functionalization of the crystal with a metal film.
The Molecules adsorbed on this metal layer show an infrared absorption which is 10-1000 times higher. This effect is calles Surface Enhanced Infrared Absorption (SEIRA) and results from the electromagnetic interactions of the incident photon field with the metal and the molecules.
Applications
You can read more about the performance of our crystals in this publication: SEIRAS-optimized ATR Wafers for Interfacial Spectroelectrochemistry. It compares the Universal ATR Crystal (Gen 1) with the Specialized 1 ATR Crystal (Gen 2).
Please note that these crystals come without the gold layer.
J1: Spectroelectrochemical ATR Cell
Our crystals are also available in a cooperation product with Jackfish and PIKE: the J1W is a complete three-electrode electrochemical cell for ATR-SEIRAS using our optimized crystals.
