FTIR offers quantitative and qualitative analysis for organic and inorganic samples. Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) identifies chemical bonds in a molecule by producing an infrared absorption spectrum.

 

The resulting spectra produce a profile of the sample, a distinctive molecular fingerprint that can be used to easily screen and scan samples for many different components. FTIR is an effective analytical instrument for detecting functional groups and characterizing covalent bonding information.

 

FTIR Solutions:

FTIR is often used with other molecular spectroscopy techniques available in MEIC laboratories, including TGA, NMR, GC/MS, LC/MS, UV/Vis spectroscopy, NIR and Raman scattering.

 

FTIR combined with these techniques provides complementary data regarding a molecule's molecular structure. When used together they prove very effective in the identification of unknowns.

Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy Testing

*At times we may have to use our collaborators/vendors’ facilities

FTIR is a powerful technique for screening and profiling samples. MEIC scientists provide an extensive range of FTIR analysis capabilities and expertise ranging from polymers to natural products. MEIC provides FTIR analytical testing and data interpretation. FTIR testing via measuring the unique signature produced due to energy absorbed by molecular  species identifies  various chemical compounds in diverse samples, including consumer products, paints, polymers, coatings, soil, waste, drugs, explosives, pharmaceuticals, foods and many other products.
