Preparing powder samples for FTIR analysis has traditionally relied on manual techniques—manual sample loading and cleaning, operator variability and inconsistent ATR pressure. HF Innovation has changed that.
The HF Cobot FTIR system brings true end-to-end automation to Bruker FTIR, combining AI-driven sample dispensing with fully automated analysis for demanding laboratory environments.
At the heart of the system is an AI Vision–powered powder dispensing module, delivering precise, uniform application of powders directly onto analytical surfaces—including the Diamond ATR crystal of the Bruker Alpha II FTIR spectrometer. Coverage is measured in real time, removing the need for weighing, guesswork or operator intervention.
What makes it different:
- AI Vision verifies powder coverage in real time.
- Uniform layer formation for optimal ATR contact and reproducible spectra.
- Automated dosing, individual sample barcoding and full traceability.
- High throughput: while one sample is running, the next is prepared.
- Self-cleaning design to minimise downtime.
Despite its industrial capability, usability remains simple. The intuitive LabDroid interface enables fast onboarding, with flexible connectivity to an external PC for advanced workflows.
From pharmaceutical QA to materials science, mining and environmental laboratories, the HF Cobot FTIR system transforms FT-IR spectroscopy from a manual bottleneck into a robust, automated and repeatable process.
HF Innovation — Smarter, faster and safer laboratories for a sustainable future.
