Identification by FTIR - Report

Method Description

Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy identifies unknown materials by analyzing their molecular vibrations and comparing spectral fingerprints to reference databases. This analysis is important for ingredient verification, contaminant identification, and quality control because each compound produces a unique infrared spectrum that serves as a molecular fingerprint. FTIR identification helps manufacturers verify raw material authenticity, investigate foreign materials, and confirm product composition without destructive sample preparation.
