Product description

Compact benchtop FT-IR spectrometer with RockSolid™ interferometer and QuickSnap™ modules for versatile chemical analysis.

The Bruker ALPHA is a compact and versatile Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) spectrometer designed for rapid and reliable chemical analysis across various sample types, including solids, liquids, and gases. Its small footprint, approximately the size of a laboratory notebook, makes it an ideal choice for laboratories with limited bench space.

Key features include:

  • RockSolid™ interferometer: Ensures high performance and reproducible results, even in environments with vibrations.
  • QuickSnap™ sampling modules: Allows easy exchange of sampling accessories to accommodate various sample types.
  • OPUS/Mentor software: Provides an intuitive interface for both novice and experienced users, facilitating efficient data acquisition and analysis.
  • Platinum ATR module: Features a unique one-finger pressure applicator for faster and more reproducible Attenuated Total Reflectance (ATR) sampling.

The ALPHA is widely utilized in scientific fields such as biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, materials science, and environmental analysis. Its applications range from quality control and raw material verification to the identification of unknown substances. Commonly found in university laboratories, biomedical research centres, and industrial quality control departments, the ALPHA has been a valuable tool for researchers and scientists since its release in 2007.

In the biotechnology sector, the ALPHA plays a crucial role in molecular diagnostics, bioprocessing, and synthetic biology applications. Its ability to perform live-cell imaging and fluorescence analysis makes it indispensable for gene editing and biomanufacturing processes. The instrument's precision and reliability ensure accurate results, which are essential for advancing research and development in these cutting-edge fields.

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.
