Humidity-Resistant Window Material Compatible with
the Wavenumber Measurement Range Specified in Pharmacopoeia

Either a KBr or KRS-5 window can be selected. The KRS-5 window maintains humidity resistance
up to 90 %RH (for temperatures up to 30 °C) and is compliant with pharmacopoeia wavenumber
range requirements (350 to 7,800 cm ).
