FTIR Spectroscopy

Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy is a versatile analytical technique used to identify and characterize chemical compounds based on their infrared absorption spectra. Molecules absorb infrared light at specific wavelengths corresponding to their vibrational modes, creating a unique spectral fingerprint. FTIR instruments use an interferometer to collect high-resolution spectral data across a wide range of wavelengths, enabling the analysis of solids, liquids, and gases. This non-destructive method is widely applied in material science, pharmaceuticals, and environmental analysis for qualitative and quantitative assessments.
