Infrared Spectroscopy
FTIR Spectroscopy Analysis
Rapid functional group identification, material characterization, and identity screening with infrared spectroscopy.
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 StatusSample 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.
