Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR)

What we can do

♦ Identification of liquid and solid materials

♦ Classification of plastics

♦ Calculating the extent of reaction of glues

♦ Comparison between samples

What is XRD?

Infrared Spectroscopy is used to identify and study materials through the characteristic spectrum generated from the absorption of different IR wavelengths by functional groups of the molecules. The Fourier transform is a mathematical algorithm which converts infrared interferograms (FTIR) recorded by the detector into intensity-vs.-frequency spectrum which is commonly known as the infrared absorption spectrum.
