Liquid foreign substance sampling technique for FT-IR analysis

At Aites Co., Ltd., we have newly introduced "Microscopic FT-IR" this fiscal year. The "Microscopic FT-IR," which combines FT-IR and optical microscopy, allows for the measurement of tiny substances on the order of several tens of micrometers, which are difficult to measure with conventional FT-IR, using an aperture (field of view diaphragm). There are three main measurement methods for Microscopic FT-IR: "transmission method," "reflection method," and "ATR method." While the transmission method is the basic measurement method in Microscopic FT-IR measurements, the reflection method or ATR method may be more suitable depending on the shape of the sample and the feasibility of sampling.

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.
