FTIR

FTIR, or Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy, is a powerful analytical technique used to identify the functional groups in a compound by measuring the absorption of infrared light. It provides valuable information about the chemical composition and structure of a sample, making it a widely used tool in various industries such as pharmaceuticals, polymers, food, and forensics. FTIR works by measuring the different frequencies of infrared light absorbed by the sample, which are unique to different chemical bonds. This technique is non-destructive, fast, and requires minimal sample preparation, making it a versatile tool for qualitative and quantitative analysis. FTIR is essential for characterizing materials, identifying unknown compounds, and monitoring chemical reactions.
