Finding the right fit

Method fit and use cases

Material ID

Best for fast screening of polymers, residues, powders, and bulk materials.

Functional groups

Useful for confirming chemical class or material changes.

Contamination support

Compare unknown material against retained samples or likely sources.

Your next step

What you receive

Spectral comparison

FTIR spectra, library match context, and known-vs-unknown comparison.

Material interpretation

Functional-group observations and identity confidence notes.

Follow-up recommendation

Guidance on LC-MS, NMR, or chromatography if FTIR is not definitive.

Planning your project

A scope that fits
your requirements.

Explore the details, or talk with us about your sample. We confirm methods, documentation, and timing before testing begins.

Review Quality Status
Sample and matrix fit

Solids and powders

Powders, residues, films, flakes, deposits, and foreign materials.

Liquids and formulations

Prepared samples where IR screening can answer the identity question.

Comparison materials

Known references, retained samples, or suspected source materials.

Timing and turnaround

Standard turnaround

5–10 business days for most analyses.

Expedited QC packages

As fast as 24 hours when method, matrix, and capacity allow.

Rush service

Quoted case-by-case, subject to method fit, sample receipt, and lab availability.
