The Harrick Praying Mantis™ was the first generally available diffuse reflection (DRIFTS) attachment and remains the forerunner in the field. It is a highly efficient diffuse collection system that minimizes the detection of the specular component. Ellipsoids pivot to provide easy access to the sampling area and incorporates to 6:1, 90° off-axis ellipsoids which form a highly efficient diffuse reflection illumination and collection system. This unique configuration deflects the specular reflectance away from the collecting ellipsoid, minimizing the associated spectral distortions. The Praying Mantis™ also can be configured to study materials and reactions in controlled environments with the appropriate diffuse reflectance reaction chamber. Harrick Praying Mantis™ applications include easy and reliable diffuse reflection analysis of solids and powders by FT-IR and UV-VIS spectroscopy and analysis of catalysts and other powders in a temperature and/or pressure controlled environment.
Highly efficient collection system.
Minimizes the detection of the specular component.
Ellipsoids pivot to provide easy access to the sampling area.
Allows easy attachment of reaction chambers.
Several models offered for compatibility with a wide range of FTIR and UV-VIS spectrometers.
Harrick’s exclusive PermaPerge™ allows rapid exchange with minimal interruption of the system purge.
Optional references for FTIR and UV-VIS studies.
