FTIRlaineanalüüsi

FTIRlaineanalüüs, also known as Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy analysis, is a widely used analytical technique that identifies chemical substances by measuring how they absorb and transmit infrared light. When infrared radiation passes through a sample, molecules within the sample absorb specific wavelengths of light corresponding to the vibrational frequencies of their chemical bonds. An FTIR spectrometer measures this absorption pattern across a range of infrared wavelengths. The resulting spectrum is a unique "fingerprint" for each molecule, characterized by a series of absorption peaks at specific wavenumbers. By comparing the obtained spectrum to known spectral databases, the identity and even the quantity of the components in a sample can be determined. This technique is non-destructive, meaning the sample can often be recovered and used for further analysis after the FTIR scan. Its applications are diverse, spanning fields such as materials science, pharmaceuticals, environmental monitoring, and forensic science, for the qualitative and quantitative analysis of organic and inorganic compounds.
