About ATR Scientist Partners Inc.
ATR Scientists Partners Inc. in Japan was established as a specialized company to develop and manufacture UV/Vis Multiple ATR spectrometer (OWG spectrometer).
The UV/Vis Multiple ATR spectrometry is a quite unique method that enables us to investigate the surface behavior of molecules during catalytic reactions, photoreactions in the device, and so on while it has been very difficult to obtain such information using the transmission method of the conventional UV/Vis spectrometer.
The UV/Vis Multiple ATR (OWG) spectroscopy utilizes the evanescent waves that are generated at the total reflection of incident light at the waveguide surface.
It is very important to understand the science of surfaces and interfaces.
This is because that most chemical reaction is being occurred there.
When we think about substances, it becomes essential to divide into balk and surface/interface.
Even if it is a substance consisting of a single element or molecule, the nature and roles are far different between the bulk and the surface/interface.
For example, polymerisation/degradation by the stimulation, which is adsorption/desorption, catalysis, oxidation/reduction, exposure to heat, light, tribology, gas phase, solvation, mostly occurs to the surface/interface.
We have a measure to approach easily.
That is Real-time UV/vis/NIR multiple ATR (Attenuated Total Reflection)or Optical Waveguide Spectroscopy.
This methodology has advantages over absorption, fluorescence and Surface Plasmon Resonance methods and enables us to be known for molecular orientation by using polarized light.
We hope that our proposal gives you a hint to solve a problem in your research.
