Qualitative Analysis
Qualitative analysis is commonly used for the overall identification of a substance. For specimens that can be predicted in advance, the sample can be compared directly against a standard IR spectrum for identification and confirmation. Specimens that cannot be foreseen in advance can be identified by searching an infrared spectrum library; approximately 220,000 Sadtler spectra are available through the manufacturer.
- Identification of textile fibers
- Drug GMP certification testing
- Testing of food and drug packaging materials
- Testing the application scheme of brake shoe body material
- Screening of organotins in electrical and electronic products
- Analysis of trace physical evidence and inspection of paint physical evidence
- Testing of polymer materials such as plastics, rubber, adhesives, asphalt, and resins
Quantitative Analysis
Quantitative analysis is based on Lambert-Beer quantification. A relationship curve is established between content and the absorbance or peak area of the infrared characteristic peak, after which unknown sample content can be tested.
- Benzene content in gasoline
- Emissivity measurement of building glass hemispheres
- SBS content determination in modified asphalt
- Free silica content determination in dust
