About Fourier Transform InfraRed Spectroscopy

oIt is also known as FTIR Analysis or FTIR Spectroscopy.

oIt is a powerful analytical tool for identifying chemical constituents and elucidating compound structures in various real-world samples.

oIt does this by analyzing the vibrational modes of molecular functional groups.

oThe FTIR analysis method uses infrared light to scan test samples and observe chemical properties.

oIt gives information about molecular vibrations, provides identification of functional groups and also identifies chemical components, molecules and molecular segments

oThis technique is useful for analyzing the chemical composition of smaller particles, typically 10 -50 microns, as well as larger areas on the surface.
