Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrometer (FTIR)
Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) is a third generation infrared spectrometer. FTIR defines the chemical bonds in a molecule, generating an infrared absorption spectrum. Determination of the functional groups and covalently bonded to characterize the information is highly sensitive analytical instruments. FTIR provides for quantitative and qualitative analysis of organic and inorganic samples. organic synthesis because the resulting broad spectrum language, polymer science, petrochemical engineering, are widely used in the pharmaceutical industry and food analysis. The advantages compared to other IR FTIR device are numerous:
• The resolution is quite high.
• All frequency scanning time is short (about 1 second)
• Scan range is broad
• The resolution is high signal to noise ratio of the spectrum is high.
