Hands-on FTIR
This course covers practical theory of Fourier Transform InfraRed spectroscopy, reviewing the EM spectrum with focus on the IR region.
This course covers all the practical theory about Fourier Transform InfraRed spectroscopy. It will review the EM spectrum focussing on the IR region.
It will detail the characteristic absorption spectra of various compounds such as alkanes, alkynes, alcohols, esters, ethers, and will provide examples in the form of exercises for IR interpretation.
The course will review the different components of FTIR such as IR sources, detectors, beam splitter and Attenuated Total Reflectance (ATR). It will guide the delegate with sample-specific factors affecting spectral quality and mixtures.
The hands-on practicals will include the analysis of pharmaceutical and food samples by FTIR and then will analyse the data.
This course is suitable for all levels of knowledge
