"The Agilent 8700 LDIR is a next-generation instrument designed to make chemical imaging fast, automated, and highly reliable. Using Laser Direct Infrared (LDIR) technology, it allows researchers to identify and characterize particles and materials with minimal manual work.
With a simple workflow — load the sample, choose the method, press play — the system performs scanning, data processing, and spectral analysis automatically. Its dual filter holder doubles efficiency by analyzing two samples in sequence, saving valuable laboratory time.
Although widely recognized as the most advanced option for microplastics analysis, the 8700 LDIR is also used in many other fields. In environmental research, it helps detect and quantify pollutants; in the pharmaceutical industry, it supports quality control and contamination studies; in materials science, it characterizes polymers, coatings, and composites; and in forensics or food safety, it enables rapid identification of unknown substances.
Combining speed, accuracy, and versatility, the Agilent 8700 LDIR strengthens research and industrial applications where detailed chemical information is essential."
