What it is

General reference — not yet source-verified

FTIR spectrometers measure how materials absorb infrared radiation and use the resulting spectrum to support material identification and compositional analysis. FTIR instruments are general analytical tools used in laboratories for sample characterization, quality work, and investigative analysis.

Where it fits in the process flow

General reference — not yet source-verified

FTIR spectrometers are offline analytical instruments rather than production process tools. FTIR spectrometers are typically used alongside incoming material control, formulation checks, contamination investigation, failure analysis, and post-process verification workflows.

Applications

General reference — not yet source-verified

FTIR spectrometers are used to identify organic and inorganic materials by their infrared absorption signatures. FTIR work commonly includes verification of raw materials, comparison of unknown samples to reference spectra, assessment of chemical composition, and investigation of residues, films, powders, and solids.
