Versatile FT-IR Laboratory Spectrometer MB3000
The ABB MB3000 is a high-performance, maintenance-free FT‑IR laboratory spectrometer designed to deliver reliable and consistent analytical results. It features a compact, vertical design that minimizes laboratory footprint while providing easy access to internal components. Built with fixed, wear-free optical parts and a solid-state laser, the MB3000 eliminates the need for regular maintenance and purging, ensuring long-term stability and low cost of ownership. Its open sample compartment accommodates a wide variety of interchangeable ABB and third-party accessories without realignment, and an integrated microscope allows precise inspection of sample areas down to approximately 100 µm. Combined with the intuitive Horizon MB™ software, the MB3000 simplifies sample acquisition, processing, and analysis, making it suitable for a broad range of applications across industries, including chemical, pharmaceutical, petrochemical, aerospace, and academic research.
