FTIR

Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy equipment analyzes the infrared spectrum of absorption and emission of a solid, liquid, or gas sample to identify and quantify its molecular components. FTIR spectrometers work by passing an infrared beam through the sample; the instrument then measures the amount of light absorbed at each wavelength. This data generates a unique spectral fingerprint that can be used for qualitative and quantitative analysis. Common workflows include sample preparation, data acquisition, spectral processing, and analysis using sophisticated software. Leading manufacturers like Thermo Fisher, PerkinElmer, and Bruker offer a wide range of FTIR instruments tailored for various applications. FTIR spectroscopy is a versatile technique employed in diverse scientific fields like pharmaceuticals, materials science, and... + More
