ISS910057 - FT-IR Spectrometer Tensor II

The Department of Chemistry at Colorado State University would like to purchase a FT-IR Spectrometer Tensor II.  The research laboratory is in need of a Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrometer with the capability to probe samples in the near infrared (NIR) region of the light spectrum. This research specializes in describing the electronic structure of inorganic complexes related to magnetism, spin-crossover, and photocatalysis. We characterize these molecules with several spectroscopic techniques; however, we’ve encountered short-comings describing these molecules due to the limited spectroscopic windows on our current instruments.  The FT-IR Spectrometer TENSOR II is the only spectrometer that meets all of the requirements listed below.  Therefore, the Department of Chemistry at Colorado State University looks to establish Bruker Optics as a sole source procurement.
