You know that moment in police dramas when forensics come back with a result that turns the whole case around? One of the techniques forensic labs use to analyse scene-of-crime material is Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy – and we use it to solve industry problems too.

FTIR uses infrared light to identify an organic material’s unique spectral fingerprint. As you might expect from something that has to stand up in court, it’s incredibly accurate and reliable. Our rapid FTIR testing service can help you to:

• accurately identify a material
• compare or verify samples for quality control, monitoring or problem solving
• resolve failure issues, for example determining the cause of an unwanted residue by comparing samples of the residue and potential source materials
