Product Description
This chapter describes the ReactIR™ 45m and the possible system configurations. A ReactIR
45m system consists of a base unit and sampling technology along with iC IR™ software.
Designed to be simple and easy to use, the system comes in the following overall
configurations that differ by the type of DS sampling technology:

Overview of the ReactIR 45m System
ReactIR 45m is an FTIR-based, high performance, in situ reaction analysis system designed
specifically for the chemist and chemical engineer who require the highest level of precision
for kinetic studies and quantitative analysis. It provides real-time information on the effect of
changing reaction conditions such as solvent, catalyst, temperature, and reagent addition
rate, saving valuable resources. Based on the information provided by ReactIR 45m,
scientists are able to correlate, in real time, the impact of varying reaction conditions to
reaction performance—dramatically reducing development time.
Valuable characteristics of the ReactIR 45m system include:
Ergonomics—No obstruction to daily workflow, easy to monitor every reaction
Minimal purge—Improved data quality without external requirements/costs.
No alignment (FiberConduit only)—Highest quality data assurance without user input.
Minimal alignment in case of Mirror Conduits.
Plug-n-Play sampling—Reproducible measurements
Enhanced understanding of chemistry—Monitor reaction temperature simultaneously
with chemical changes
Standard items included with the ReactIR 45m base unit are:
24-hour cooling capacity, Mercury Cadmium Telluride (MCT) detecor
iC IR 4.3 or later software version
USB communications cable
Power Supply with country-specific power cord
Funnel, small flat-head screwdriver
Purge tubing and connectors
Not included but necessary for routine operation are,
Workstation—Laptop or Desktop
Note: Sensor sampling technology interfaces are sold separately.
