The VFT-4000 is a VCD attachment for the FT/IR-4000/6000 FT-IR spectrometers, developed for measuring vibrational circular dichroism in the infrared region. The VFT-4000 can be used to obtain very useful information for the optical activity of carbohydrates and provide tertiary structure identification of chiral molecules.
The VFT-4000 can cover a wide spectral range (4000-750 cm-1), enabling measurement of OH and NH bands. Detectors can be easily exchanged with no manual alignment, and optical filters can be switched by a PC-controlled 6-position filter wheel.
