FTIR

We have recently added the technique of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy or FTIR. To this end, a Spectrum Two with ATR has been purchased from industry leader Perkin Elmer and has rapidly confirmed itself as a complementary and staple polymer characterisation test. FTIR enables the rapid identification of many polymers and polymer additives. A further enhancement in April of this year saw the addition of access to the vast Bio-Rad database enabling spectra identification in seconds.
