Description

FTIR analysis helps clients understand materials and products. Analytical testing sample screens, profiles and data interpretation are available on a global basis from our experts who deploy FTIR to identify chemical compounds in consumer products, paints, polymers, coatings, pharmaceuticals, foods and other products. Laboratories with FTIR expertise are located throughout the Intertek global laboratory network.

FTIR offers quantitative and qualitative analysis for organic and inorganic samples. Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) identifies chemical bonds in a molecule by producing an infrared absorption spectrum. The spectra produce a profile of the sample, a distinctive molecular fingerprint that can be used to screen and scan samples for many different components. FTIR is an effective analytical instrument for detecting functional groups and characterizing covalent bonding information.

Sample Collection Information

• Volume Required: 2g


• Nature of Sample: Fecal, Urine, Sputum, Powder, Liquid


• Packaging Instructions: For functional unit determination, the Shimadzu Fourier transform Infrared Spectrophotometer- FTIR 8400 S was used. Samples were weigh in at 0.01 g and homogenized with 0.01 g KBr anhydrous by mortar agate. The mixtures were pressed by vacuum hydraulic (Graseby Specac) at 1.2 psi to obtain transparency pellet. Scanned sample passed through infra red, where its continuing wave by detector that connected to computer and given described of tested sample spectrum. Samples were usually scanned in the absorption area of 600 to 4000 cm-1. The results of analysis consisted of chemical structure, molecular binding form and certain functional groups of tested sample as basic of spectrum type.
