On-Site Material Verification Using Mid-Infrared Analyzers

 

 
Identification and characterization of incoming raw materials is a key function in any manufacturing process. Since all organic molecules and most inorganic molecules have characteristic mid infrared spectra, FT-IR spectrometers are widely used to check incoming shipments. However, because is it is impractical to position FT-IR instruments at loading docks,

Products & Services
Infrared (IR) spectrometers measure the wavelength and intensity of the absorption of infrared light by a sample. Search by Specification | Learn more about Infrared Spectrometers
Spectrometers are analytical instruments which disperse an emission (such as particles or radiation) according to some property of the emission (such as mass or energy) in order to measure the amount of the dispersion. This product area includes Portable / Miniature, visible, infrared (IR), ultraviolet (UV), atomic absorption (AA), optical emission (OE), Raman, X-ray fluorescence (XRF) and mass spectrometers. Specific search forms are also available. Search by Specification | Learn more about Spectrometers
Raman spectrometers are used to measure the wavelength and intensity of inelastically scattered light from molecules. They can determine the chemical composition of a sample based on its wavelength and intensity. Learn more about Raman Spectrometers
