FTIR, Raman, and NIR Spectral Interpretation
Innovative FT-IR Problem Solving

Expert FTIR Analysis and FTIR Methods 

On-call Spectral Advice and Interpretation!


After viewing tens of thousands of infrared spectra, interpreting thousands of spectra, and developing hundreds of methods as a vibrational spectroscopist; now you have access to this resource.  Current FTIR libraries often fail when presented with impure samples or provide insufficient sensitivity to minor components, whereas an experienced infrared spectroscopist can provide a full characterization of an unknown substance.  An unknown white powder can be 98% talc with 2% of a dangerous toxin such as anthrax or ricin, and a typical first responder FT-IR library search will label it "safe" as talc.  Have full confidence in the identification of your unknown materials by having a career spectroscopist characterize your sample. 

Simply provide the FTIR, NIR, or Raman spectrum and I will send you a fully interpreted spectrum and an identification result with relevant observations ($50 each).  Emergency response spectral interpretation service is also available for an additional fee.

Don't have an FTIR or NIR, I can run your sample for you and send you the interpreted spectrum and results ($75 each). 

Qualitative library collection and quantitative analysis methods have been developed to meet and often exceed ASTM, FDA, or ISO methods.  This more advanced level of FTIR analysis often employs the use of chemometric partial least squares (PLS) and classical least squares (CLS) techniques.

Surface Cleanliness - FTIR is capable of measuring trace impurities on metal, glass, and polymer surfaces.  Impurities can be silicone oils, mineral oils, greases, or slip agents.


Quality Control and Quality Assurance:

FTIR, Near IR and Raman are increasingly utilized in pharmaceutical, nutraceutical and chemical industries to provide rapid and accurate assessment of product quality. 

On-line Applications also allow for early contaminant detection which minimizes production losses.
