新奥尔良，香格里拉（ 2008年3月4日）

A2科技，便携式傅立叶红外(FTIR)的创新者和制造商，宣布推出市场上体积最小、最紧凑的Exoscan型FTIR，进一步扩大了其新型便携FTIR的产品线。为了使光谱仪走出实验室，这台创新的光谱仪是专为现场非破坏性的表面及散装分析应用而设计的。A2科技的Exoscan重量不到7磅，特别易用，其分析性能超过了传统庞大的、昂贵的FTIR；而且可用于处理衰减全反射（ ATR）。A2科技的Pittcon2008展台编号是2507。

Exoscan供电：一个机载锂离子充电电池或AC电源。具有互换性内部反射（ ATR）和外部反射采样接口，这套系统适于采集各种材料的样品，包括固体物、膏状物、凝胶和液体。再加上A2科技独特的技术钻石内部反射采样系统，这套系统还能够进行大表面分析。PDA控制和操作，A2科技的Exoscan光谱仪融合了实验室FTIR的独特性能、和便携仪器野外使用、实时获得结果的优点。Exoscan可以做非破坏性分析，因此也适用于下列应用：样品太大以至于无法带进实验室；或样品太贵重、不能取走一小部分做分析。

琼.弗拉塔罗利(Jon Frattaroli)，A2科技的首席执行官评论说：“几十年来，傅立叶红外光谱已成为强大的分析工具，但由于它较大、复杂性、仪器不太稳定，FTIR主要在实验室内使用。越来越多的应用要求：样品不能被带进实验室，或由于尺寸原因不能被放进一个传统的FTIR样品台，我们很高兴能够推出这项革命性的分析工具，用便携性的手持式工具实现FTIR的强大性能。”

Eexoscan革命性的光学系统的是一个光刻的、高稳定性的红外调制器，确保了在非日常的应用和环境中，系统稳定运行且不牺牲性能。系统可操作在4000～650 波数的中红外区，具有4cm-1的分辨率。此外，配备了三个层次的软件体系结构，提供方法开发、监督和操作功能。

A2 Technologies Launches Groundbreaking Portable Exoscan FTIR Spectrometer for Surface Analysis Applications
 

NEW ORLEANS, LA, (March 4, 2008)

A2 Technologies, the innovator and manufacturer of portable Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectrometers has further extended its range of novel portable FTIR spectrometers announcing the launch of the smallest, most compact FTIR spectrometer available on the market, ExoscanTM. Designed to move spectroscopy out of the laboratory and into the field, the innovative analyzer is designed for non-destructive on-site surface and bulk analysis applications. Weighing less than seven pounds, the A2 Technologies Exoscan features superior ease of use, coupled with analytical performance that rivals far larger and more expensive traditional analytical FTIR spectrometers. Exoscan is also capable of handling Attenuated Total Reflectance (ATR) applications and will be unveiled on the A2 Technologies booth #2507 at PITTCON 2008, New Orleans, Louisiana, March 3-7.

Exoscan is powered by an on-board rechargeable Lithium ion battery or from AC power. Featuring interchangeable internal reflectance (ATR) and external reflectance sampling interfaces, this system is ideal for sampling a wide variety of materials including solids, pastes, gels and liquids. Coupled with the unique A2 Technologies diamond internal reflection sampling system, this system is also capable of large surface analysis. Controlled and operated via a PDA device, the A2 Technologies Exoscan spectrometer combines all the unique capabilities of a laboratory-based FTIR with the advantages of a portable instrument that can be used in the field, ensuring real time results. Capable of non-destructive analysis, this new analyzer is ideal for applications for which the sample is too large to bring to the laboratory or too valuable to require a small portion to be removed for analysis.

Jon Frattaroli, CEO at A2 Technologies comments "For decades FTIR spectroscopy has been a powerful analytical tool but it has primarily been used for laboratory use due to its size, complexity and lack of instrument tability. Due to the increased numbers of applications where a sample cannot be brought to the laboratory or it cannot be put into a traditional FTIR bench due to the size of the material, we are excited to introduce this revolutionary analyzer that offers the power of FTIR spectroscopy with the portability of a handheld instrument."

The revolutionary optical system of the Exoscan is a monolithic, highly rugged infrared modulator that enables routine operation of the system in non-routine applications and environments without sacrificing performance. This system operates in the 4000 to 650 wavenumber mid-infrared region and is capable of 4cm-1 resolution. Additionally, the analyzer is equipped with three-level software architecture, providing methods development, supervisory and operator functionality.
