Information
Outstanding sensitivity is achieved using high-pressure contact against a type IIa diamond, selected for its unparalleled sensitivity as a single reflection ATR element together with its unique physical and chemical stability.

The diamond is high temperature bonded into its tungsten carbide mount, giving the performance and strength to withstand the high pressures required for maximum optical contact with hard samples. The quick lock and release bridge allows for fast sample turnaround. The built-in pressure control mechanism means reproducible results are obtainable without the need for a torque tool.

The Golden Gate can be used to analyze a range of samples from single particles and fibers to corrosive liquids, and the large working area sample platform is ideal for macro sampling.
