Effects of Temperature
The PIKE Technologies MIRacle utilizes a metallic gasket to seal the crystal to its mount. This sealing
mechanism allows some flexibility and hot samples may be placed on the crystal without damaging the
crystal or seal. However, it is recommended that the temperature difference between the sample and
the crystal be no more than 30 °C. So for a crystal at room temperature, the sample may be at a
temperature of up to 50 °C. Do not exceed sample temperature greater than 60 °C when using the
single reflection diamond MIRacle ATR crystal. Apply only room temperature samples to MIRacle
3- and 9-reflection ATR plates. Please contact PIKE Technologies if you wish to place samples of a higher
temperature on the crystal surface. Heated MIRacle plates are also available and can be heated up to
130 °C (60 °C for diamond).
