What Is an Ft-ir and an Ft-ir Spectrometer?

An FT-IR Spectrometer is an instrument which acquires broadband NIR to FIR spectra. Unlike a dispersive instrument, i.e. grating monochromator or spectrograph, an FT-IR Spectrometer collects all wavelengths simultaneously. This feature, called the Multiplex or Felgett Advantage, is discussed in detail on page 3. FT-IR Spectrometers are often simply called FT-IRs. But for the purists, an FT-IR (...

FT-IR Spectroscopy in Medicine

Infrared spectroscopy has been widely applied for the characterisation of various substances. Due to its sensitivity to the chemical information and architecture of the molecule, infrared spectroscopy can play an important role in new applications such as in the life-science field and not only in the traditional fields of physics and chemistry. Spectroscopic techniques are simple, reproducible,...

Raising the bar in FT-IR

16 Introduction Lubrication is a vital component of machinery and, as with any component, early detection of wear is essential for timely replacement, avoiding unnecessary maintenance while reducing the risk of catastrophic breakdowns. Oil inevitably degrades with use and is exposed to various sources of contamination, both internal and external, which can lead to its degradation and reduced ef...

15 - 22 FT-IR Study

FT-IR spectra of liver tissue isolated from mice, Mus musculus, have been recorded in the region of 4000 – 400 cm-1 for normal, mercury treated and recovery phase. In this study, the total protein content was found to be decreased in the liver tissues after treatment with median-lethal dose of mercuric chloride. The marked fall in the level of bio-chemical constituent in the tissue due to metal...
