Fourier-transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR)
Identifies chemical bonds and functional groups by measuring absorption of infrared radiation. Specific bonds vibrate at characteristic frequencies, giving a molecular signature used for functional-group identification and chemical purity.
Sample requirements
- State the nature of the sample (for example hazardous, volatile, or explosive).
- Minimum sample quantity: 0.1 g, in an Eppendorf tube placed in a ziplock bag.
- Only solid, powder, or thin film samples are acceptable.
