Recent advances in FTIR technology
Recent Advances in FT-JR TechnologyPeter B.. Solomon, Robert M. Carangelo, and Martin D. CarangeloOn-Line Technologies, Inc.87 Church Street, East Hartford, CT 06108ABSTRACTFor the monitoring of hydrocarbons and toxic air contaminants, Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy hasadvantages in the ability to rapidly measure multiple species accurately at low concentrations. During the last few years, Fr-IRspectrometers have improved substantially in ruggedness, speed, sensitivity, and flexibility for performing air emissionmeasurements. This paper will discuss advances made at On-Line Technologies, Inc. (On-Line) in:
OBJECTIVE ::: To establish a new method to discriminate Aaron's beard by Fourier transformation infrared spectrometry. ::: ::: ::: METHODS ::: Attenuation Reflection-Fourier transformation infrared spectrometry with clustering analysis was used to the identification of Aaron's beard. ::: ::: ::: RESULTS ::: There were obvious differences in Aaron's beard. The results are consistent with that of morphologic study. ::: ::: ::: CONCLUSION ::: This method is rapid, simple and economical, and can be used to the quality control.
