FTIR spectroscopy is an ideal analytical tool for both QC analysis to verify if materials meet specification, and analytical investigations to troubleshoot failures when they do occur. The utility of infrared for these purposes arises from the simplicity of sample analysis and data acquisition, coupled with the information-rich spectra that it provides. Thanks to its compact design and ruggedness, FTIR instrumentation can be located in the analytical laboratory or near the production line. With its low cost, speed, and ease of analysis, FTIR is a method of choice for applications such as chemicals, polymers and plastics and food.
