Shimadzu was the first company to offer dynamic alignment as a standard feature in an
affordable FTIR spectrometer. With state-of-the-art technology, the Shimadzu dynamic alignment
system continuously maintains optimal alignment during data acquisition, ensuring consistently
reproducible spectra without the need for tedious mechanical adjustments.
FTIR-8400S is combined with the IRsolution - a 32 bit high performance FTIR software - to
analyze your samples easily and securely.

Reliability 2
The Interferometer is one of the most important parts of the FTIR. For accurate data collection, the interferometer
must scan with high precision. The FTIR-8400S includes the Patented FJS system which scans the moving mirror
with a smooth and stable mechanism. The optimization and stabilization of the FTIR-8400S interferometer by
Dynamic Alignment system ensures consistent and repeatable results. Since the beam splitter within the
interferometer is susceptible to moisture, the optical system of the FTIR-8400S is sealed and desiccated.

Protection of the Interferometer and Atmosphere Correction

The Interferometer is one of the most important parts of the FTIR.
The FTIR-8400S has 3 features to stabilize the interferometer and to protect the beam splitter.
1. Sealed optical system to create closed environment
2. Anti Humidity Beam Splitter coating to provide extra protection

Curve fitting (Peak split) Software (P/N 206-72333-91)

Usually, an IR band can consist of several overlapping peaks. Curve

peaks. This software is good for many applications such as analysis of
peak with hydrogen bond influences, and analysis of hidden peaks
overlapped with other peaks. Curve fitting (Peak split) software
separates the band with suitable curves from 6 types of curve such as
Gaussian, Lorentian, Gaussian+Lorentian. Component peaks and a
synthesized peak are displayed to evaluate the separation.

PharmaRepor t Program note) (P/N 206-72365-91)

This optional program compares the measured spectra of test samples with the
spectra of reference samples previously measured and registered to generate
Pass/Fail reports based on the identification test in the pharmacopoeias.
The program conducts the following calculations and comparisons:
Calculates the discrepancy in the peak wavenumbers of the sample
being checked and the reference previously registered.
Calculates the peak intensity ratio at several designated evaluation
peaks for comparison between the sample and reference.
The result is evaluated as "Pass" if both the wavenumber
discrepancy and peak intensity ratio fall within the permissible range.
In addition to the functions above, it is also possible to detect and print the
previously designated peaks only, and to print out the spectra of the measured
sample and the reference side by side.
note) In order to use this program, the separately available Macro Platform (P/N:206-72330-91) is required.
