Abstract

Infrared and Raman spectroscopy are among the most powerful tools in the industrial analytical laboratory and production control. Each molecule has a unique infrared and Raman signature providing great specificity in the identification of materials. The distribution of components can also be determined by collecting area infrared and Raman images of the product in question.

            The latest advances in the FTIR and Raman instrumentation and applications will be reviewed in this presentation with a thorough discussion of the following topics:

  • Materials identification
  • Additives and contaminations
  • Chemical imaging and depth profiling
  • Structural changes in proteins
  • Production monitoring

             Examples of applications will include O-rings identification, polymer fillers, surface chemicals, multilayer films, protein stress tests, evaluating drug and excipient distribution in tablets, and online monitoring of polymer productions.
