Using Chemical Analysis to Identify the Perfect Packaging

October 15, 2015 by Jennifer Mathias Leave a Comment

They say not to judge a book by its cover, but do you judge products based on their packaging? Consumers tend to be primarily concerned with aesthetics when it comes to a product’s packaging. Marketing teams design packaging to be eye-catching and easy to read. However, there is more to product packaging than appearance. Good […]

How Does FTIR Analysis Work?

February 1, 2015 by Jennifer Mathias Leave a Comment

Introduction to FTIR Analysis Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) Analysis measures the infrared region of the electromagnetic radiation spectrum, which has a longer wavelength and a lower frequency than visible light. This spectrum is measurable in a sample when submitted to infrared radiation (IR). The basic theory at work is that the bonds between different […]

What is Chemical Analysis?

December 23, 2014 by Jennifer Mathias Leave a Comment

Scientist Performing Failure Analysis

Chemical analysis can be used to determine a chemical’s identity or the identity of its components. To give some context to how chemical analyses can be used in manufacturing and production, here are some examples of chemical analysis methods and applications for them: Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry – GC/MS Analysis Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry is used to […]
