To prepare a KBr pellet, the sample material is blended with KBr powder and loaded into the Pellet Ring Holder and Anvil Die set. This is placed on the 2 Ton Press, and a load is applied. Once the sample is in pellet form, the Ring Holder with the pellet inside can be placed in the 3 by 2 Slide-Mounted Disc Holder and slid into the spectrometer's sample compartment, optimally positioning the pellet for FT-IR analysis.
