Infrared Spectroscopy

Infrared spectroscopy is a method of analysis used to identify molecules and measure their concentrations by examining how infrared radiation interacts with a sample. It is used to characterize organic and inorganic compounds, measure trace concentrations, and identify unknown substances. It is non-destructive, fast, and relatively inexpensive. This makes it an important tool for researchers in many fields including forensic science, biochemistry, and environmental science. Additionally, since the technique works without physical contact, it can be applied to difficult-to-access samples, such as materials in hazardous environments, which can greatly benefit research.
