Unlocking Molecular Secrets:
FTIR for Accurate
Compound Identification
Identifying Compounds with Precision: FTIR for Reliable Analytical Insights
Introduction
Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) is a versatile and widely used analytical technique for identifying and characterizing both organic and inorganic compounds by measuring how they absorb infrared light. This non-destructive method provides detailed molecular information, making it ideal for applications in research, quality control, environmental monitoring, and regulatory compliance.
FTIR works by passing infrared radiation through a sample, with each compound absorbing specific wavelengths of light. This creates a unique absorption fingerprint that can be compared against reference libraries to identify unknown substances or confirm known compounds.
At Scan Diagnostic Laboratory, we employ state-of-the-art FTIR systems that ensure fast, reliable, and highly sensitive analysis. Our services are designed to provide precise insights into the composition and properties of materials across various industries, from pharmaceuticals to environmental testing. FTIR's non-destructive nature ensures that samples remain intact for future analysis, making it an invaluable tool for quality control, research, and environmental monitoring.
By choosing Scan Diagnostic Laboratory for your FTIR needs, you gain access to advanced technology, expert support, and accurate results that help ensure product quality, safety, and compliance.
