Product description

FTIR-8400S spectrophotometer with 7,800–350 cm⁻¹ range, high S/N ratio, and dynamic alignment system.

The Shimadzu FTIR-8400S is a Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectrophotometer designed for precise and reproducible spectral analysis across various scientific disciplines. Introduced in the early 2000s, this instrument has been widely adopted in fields such as biotechnology, pharmaceutical research, and materials science.

Key features include:

  • Dynamic Alignment System: Automatically maintains optimal interferometer alignment, ensuring consistent and high-quality spectra without manual adjustments.
  • High Signal-to-Noise Ratio: Achieves a peak-to-peak S/N ratio of 20,000:1 or better, facilitating the detection of subtle spectral features.
  • Broad Spectral Range: Covers wavenumbers from 7,800 to 350 cm⁻¹, accommodating a wide array of sample types.
  • User-Friendly Software: Integrated with IRsolution software, offering comprehensive data processing functions and compliance with regulatory standards such as FDA 21 CFR Part 11.

The FTIR-8400S is particularly valuable in biotechnology applications, including protein structure analysis, nucleic acid characterization, and biomaterial assessment. Its precision and reliability make it a staple in university laboratories, biomedical research centres, and pharmaceutical quality control departments.

Although the FTIR-8400S is now considered a historical model and is no longer in production, it remains in use in various laboratories due to its robust performance and enduring reliability.

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.
