Combined Mid-IR/Near-IR spectrometers in materials characterization

Due to the recent advances in system performance, software, and the flexibility of sampling, it now makes sense to combine high-performance mid-IR and near-IR in a single instrument. Given the freedom to use either technique, the analyst should no longer face the difficult decision of choosing between a mid-IR and near-IR spectrometer, and can direct this effort toward finding the most suitable method for a particular sample. This will result in fewer failed methods, more effective troubleshooting, and greater productive instrument use.
