Product description

Portable mid-IR FTIR spectrometer with multiple ATR configurations for rapid, on-site oil and lubricant analysis.

Agilent 5500 Series Compact FTIR Spectrometer

The Agilent 5500 Series Compact FTIR Spectrometer is a portable, mid-infrared spectrometer designed for rapid, on-site analysis of oils, lubricants, and other materials. Its compact design and user-friendly interface make it ideal for field applications, providing reliable results without the complexity of traditional FTIR systems.

Key features include:

  • Versatile Sampling Configurations: Available in three models—5500t with a single diamond ATR, 5500a offering 1, 3, or 5 diamond ATR sample stages, and 5500 DialPath for extended path length measurements—catering to diverse analytical needs.
  • User-Friendly Operation: Intuitive, method-driven software guides users through each step, with colour-coded alerts indicating sample compliance, ensuring ease of use even for non-specialists.
  • Rapid Analysis: Capable of delivering results in under five minutes, enhancing productivity in time-sensitive environments.
  • Portability: Weighing approximately 6.8 kg and measuring 22 x 29 x 19 cm, the instrument is easily transportable for on-site analyses.
  • Durability: Designed to operate in temperatures ranging from 0 to 50°C, suitable for various field conditions.

This spectrometer is widely used in fields such as petrochemical analysis, lubricant quality control, and environmental monitoring. It is commonly employed in industrial laboratories, quality assurance departments, and field-based research units. Since its market entry in July 2013, the Agilent 5500 Series has remained a relevant and reliable tool for material analysis.

Why Questpair exists

Lab equipment markets are fragmented. Buyers spend weeks calling distributors, comparing quotes, and verifying supplier reliability. Sellers struggle to reach global research labs.

We built Questpair to fix this. Every supplier on the platform is verified before listing. Every quote you receive comes from a real, vetted seller. AI prepares your case in minutes, then a real specialist takes over.

We're an independent team based in The Netherlands, working with research labs and procurement teams across Europe and worldwide.

Frequently asked questions

How long does laboratory equipment typically last?

With a service contract, ten to fifteen years is normal for most benchtop instruments. Detectors and pumps are the parts that wear first.

Can I get service for older equipment?

Often, yes. Verified suppliers frequently work with service partners converting the instrument. If applicable, we can list servicing options alongside the offer.

Where can I buy parts?

Ask a scientist through the request button. Parts are often available even when the instrument itself is discontinued.

What is the typical lead time for refurbished equipment?

Two to six weeks, depending on refurbishment scope and whether calibration is included.

Does laboratory equipment ship internationally?

We ship to 38 countries. Crating and customs handling are quoted with the instrument.
