GlossaryFourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR)

measures how materials absorb infrared light to identify their composition

Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) is an analytical technique used to identify organic, polymeric, and, in some cases, inorganic materials by measuring how they absorb infrared light. It provides a molecular fingerprint of the sample, allowing scientists to determine its chemical composition and structure.
