The Shimadzu MIRacle 10 Single Reflection ATR Accessory is a specialized attenuated total reflection (ATR) sampling accessory designed for Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The unit shown in the supplied photograph is clearly labeled MIRacle 10 – Single Reflection ATR Accessory – Shimadzu. It is designed to allow direct infrared spectral measurement of samples by bringing the sample into contact with an ATR prism. Shimadzu identifies the MIRacle 10 as a single-reflection ATR attachment integrated with the sample compartment.

The MIRacle 10 uses a small approximately 1.5 mm diameter prism positioned horizontally, with a pressure clamp used to bring solid samples into contact with the prism. Available prism options include diamond, ZnSe (zinc selenide), and Ge (germanium). The accessory can be used for liquids, plastics, fibers, films, powders, rubber, and other solid samples depending on the installed prism configuration.

The photograph also shows a Shimadzu IRAffinity-1S Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrophotometer beneath/behind the accessory packaging. However, this listing is specifically for the MIRacle 10 ATR accessory visible at the top of the image. The actual prism material and pressure-sensor configuration of the supplied unit should be verified before purchase.

Applications

The Shimadzu MIRacle 10 is suitable for FTIR analysis of liquids and solid samples. Liquid samples can be placed directly onto the ATR prism, while solid samples can be pressed against the prism using the sample clamp. The single-reflection design is particularly useful when analyzing materials that do not require extensive sample preparation.

Typical applications include analysis of polymers, plastics, rubber, films, fibers, powders, coatings, and other materials in research, quality-control, pharmaceutical, chemical, educational, and industrial laboratories. Shimadzu also notes that the Ge prism is suitable for samples with a high refractive index, while diamond or Ge can be selected for acidic or alkaline samples.

Technical Specifications

*Compatibility depends on the specific FTIR model and configuration. Shimadzu lists MIRacle 10 for IRTracer-100, IRXross, and IRAffinity-1 series instruments.

Benefits of Refurbished Laboratory Equipment

Purchasing refurbished laboratory equipment can provide laboratories, universities, research organizations, and industrial facilities with access to specialized analytical equipment at a lower cost than purchasing new instrumentation. A refurbished Shimadzu MIRacle 10 can be a practical option for laboratories that already operate a compatible Shimadzu FTIR spectrometer and require an ATR sampling capability.

Refurbished analytical accessories can also help laboratories expand their existing FTIR measurement capabilities without replacing the complete spectrometer. The MIRacle 10 supports direct analysis of a wide variety of sample types, making it useful for routine material identification and research applications.

Additional Information

The supplied photograph clearly identifies the unit as a Shimadzu MIRacle 10 Single Reflection ATR Accessory. The photograph also shows packaging and a Shimadzu IRAffinity-1S instrument below it; however, the IRAffinity-1S spectrometer should not be considered included unless specifically stated in the product sale.

The exact ATR prism material, pressure-sensor configuration, accessories, sample clamp, liquid adapter, manuals, and other components should be confirmed before purchase. Shimadzu documentation lists separate prism and clamp configurations for the MIRacle series.
