Every Material Has a Fingerprint Match the Instrument to IT
Material identification depends on both the sample and the question the laboratory needs to answer. Torontech’s newsletter examines FTIR-based workflows for identifying polymers, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, unknown materials, gases, and other complex samples through their molecular fingerprints. The ToronFTIR™ range spans benchtop, portable, and handheld configurations, allowing quality, research, and field teams to match spectral coverage, sampling method, mobility, and analytical depth to the material being tested.
Benchtop systems support detailed laboratory identification and quantitative analysis, while portable and handheld FTIR instruments bring reference-library matching closer to incoming inspection and field work. Dedicated configurations extend the range to rubber and polymer identification, emissions and multi-gas analysis, and dual FTIR-Raman testing for samples that benefit from complementary molecular techniques. Flexible sampling options, spectral libraries, and data-management functions help laboratories build a consistent identification workflow around different materials and operating environments.
Match material identification methods to the sample, location, and level of analysis your workflow requires. Subscribe to the Torontech Newsletter for practical updates on FTIR, Raman spectroscopy, spectral identification, sampling techniques, laboratory workflows, and instrument selection for quality, research, and engineering teams.
