ATS performs Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectroscopy, or FTIR Analysis, to positively identify polymers, organic compounds, and inorganic materials from our chemical analysis lab.
FTIR โ The First Step in Material Evaluation
FTIR analysis generates unique combinations of absorption peaks reflecting energies absorbed by chemical bonds present in the material, acting as a fingerprint of the material. By comparing the IR spectrum of an unknown material with thousands of available IR spectra in IR libraries, an unknown material can be quickly identified. The results of FT-IR analysis lay the foundation for other material testing techniques.
Why Choose ATS’ FTIR Analysis Services
ATS’s Nicolet 380 FT-IR is equipped with low pressure diamond anvil cell, which can handle solid or liquid samples in their natural state at very small sample sizes, such as a single fiber or a speck that is half a millimeter in size. In most cases, the FT-IR analysis performed at ATS is virtually non-destructive.
ATS has a team of very knowledgeable scientists working on a variety of FT-IR analysis projects on a daily basis. FTIR analysis has been utilized for critical analysis such as:
