Frequently asked questions

What is it used for?

Preparing Φ7 mm or Φ3 mm KBr (potassium bromide) pellets for infrared (IR) spectrometers.

Can it be used inside a glove box?

Yes — it weighs only 4.8 kg with overall dimensions of 100×220×220 mm, designed for glove-box use.

What is included?

One tablet press machine, one set of Φ7 mm infrared molds (non-demolding type), one set of agate mortar and pestle, one bottle of spectroscopically pure potassium bromide, and one sample scoop. The infrared heating lamp is optional.

How is pressure applied?

Pressure is applied by turning clockwise and released by turning counterclockwise. A pointer pressure gauge displays the pressure. Pressure conversion is 1T = 10MPa; stability is ≤1MPa per 10 minutes.

What molds are available?

The standard configuration includes a Φ7 mm infrared die set (non-demolding type). Molds are customizable — contact us for Φ3 mm or other specifications.
