How Does FTIR Work?

February 1, 2015 by Jennifer Mathias Leave a Comment

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

How Stuff Works: GC/MS Analysis

November 13, 2014 by Jennifer Mathias Leave a Comment

What is GC/MS? Gas chromatography mass spectroscopy (GC/MS) is a materials analysis method that employs gas chromatographs (GC) fitted with mass selective detectors called mass spectrometers (MS). GC/MS analysis is an ideal tool for identifying unknown substances or contaminants that are present in very low quantities. GC/MS analysis lab services can be used to identify and […]

Guess the Materials Characterization Technique

October 16, 2014 by Jennifer Mathias Leave a Comment

As a manufacturing quality engineer, your goal is to deliver uniform, defect-free products that provide consistent performance. While you expect things to be done right the first time, unforeseen mistakes are inevitable. If there is a defect in a final product, you must find the source of the failure as quickly as possible in order […]

Materials Analysis Solves Manufacturing Mysteries

October 2, 2014 by Jennifer Mathias Leave a Comment

When a manufactured electrical switch unexpectedly experienced a series of shorts, quality assurance personnel noticed several abnormal particles within the switch. Because these particles were the only abnormality apparent on the product, and the QA team could not readily define where they came from, the manufacturer decided to submit the particles for materials analysis. This […]
