Infrared Spectrometer

An infrared spectrometer is a scientific instrument used to identify and analyze materials by measuring how they absorb infrared light. When a sample is exposed to infrared radiation, different molecular bonds absorb specific wavelengths of light, creating a unique “fingerprint” pattern. By examining this pattern, scientists can determine the chemical composition and structure of the sample. Infrared spectrometers are widely used in fields such as chemistry, environmental science, and pharmaceuticals for tasks like identifying substances, studying chemical reactions, and monitoring pollutants. Their ability to provide detailed information about molecular interactions is invaluable in research and industry.
