Analysis of inorganic compounds using micro-Raman spectroscopy.

We would like to introduce our "Chemical Analysis - Trust Us Service." When conducting component analysis of foreign substances or stains on products, it can be challenging to determine whether organic analysis or inorganic analysis is more suitable, and which specific analysis within organic or inorganic is the most appropriate. We provide a comprehensive service for customers who are struggling with the selection of analysis methods. Since each analysis device can measure different targets, it is necessary to choose a method that fits the purpose based on the information available.

Our company analyzes the spectra of UV-curable resins before and after UV irradiation. We irradiate UV-curable resin (acrylic type) with ultraviolet light and obtain Raman spectra before and after irradiation. By analyzing the Raman spectra, we can estimate the curing reaction to some extent. For a more detailed analysis of the curing mode, analyses such as GCMS are necessary, but our company can provide not only structural estimation but also reaction estimation through spectral analysis.

This document introduces the characteristics of each spectroscopy method and the spectra obtained when comparing infrared spectroscopy and Raman spectroscopy. Both infrared spectroscopy and Raman spectroscopy are vibrational spectroscopies that investigate the vibrational energy of molecules, but the shapes of the spectra obtained from each method differ even when measuring the same substance. Infrared spectroscopy and Raman spectroscopy are complementary, and information that cannot be obtained from either analysis alone can be acquired more detailed and accurately by conducting both analyses.
