Details - Fourier Transform - Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR)

ANALYTICAL INFORMATION:

Material identification - matches the IR absorption spectrum with standard databases to determine the identity of the material being analyzed.

Quantification - concentration of a compound can be determined by establishing a standard curve of known concentrations.

SAMPLE REQUIREMENTS:

· Sample size - varied, as small as 10 microns.

· Vacuum compatibility not an issue, samples may be liquid, solid, or gaseous form.

· Thin organic films on a reflective surface (e.g. gold) can be analyzedin situ using the reflectance mode of the microscope.

· The outer 1-10 microns of a material can be analyzed using attenuated total reflectance (ATR).

SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION:

· Typical analysis time - ½ hour per sample. Preparation times for quantification may take longer.

· Minimum area of analysis - 10 microns.

· Unique Capabilities: identifying unknown organic compounds in solid, liquid, or gaseous form and quantifying known organic compounds.
