GC-FTIR testing combines Gas Chromatography (GC) separation with Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy to provide both separation and molecular identification of compounds. In this technique, complex mixtures are first separated by GC based on volatility and chemical properties. Each component then passes through an FTIR detector, producing a unique infrared spectrum that reflects its molecular structure. This integration allows for precise identification of compounds, detection of subtle structural differences, and analysis of complex samples with high confidence, making GC-FTIR an essential tool in analytical chemistry and chemical research.
Utilizes FTIR spectra to identify structural features of unknown compounds. This service enables precise determination of functional groups, bond types, and molecular structures. Experiments are optimized based on sample properties to provide reliable structural insights and support research and development projects.
Through peak integration or specific absorption bands, this service allows accurate calculation of component concentrations. Ideal for purity assessment and impurity profiling, our approach ensures reproducible quantitative data for complex organic mixtures.
By combining cryogenic trapping interfaces with high-sensitivity FTIR detection, trace-level compounds at ppb–ppm concentrations can be measured. This service is tailored for volatile and semi-volatile compounds, delivering highly sensitive and reliable data for low-abundance analytes.
Designed for complex gas mixtures, this service separates individual components and provides structural identification using FTIR. Suitable for environmental air analysis, residual organic solvents, and other multi-component systems, our methodology ensures comprehensive mixture characterization.
