ISO 12085 Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy Testing
The ISO 12085 standard specifies the procedures for performing Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, which is a powerful analytical technique used to identify and characterize chemical compounds. FTIR testing provides detailed information about molecular structure by measuring the absorption of infrared radiation at specific wavelengths.
Our ISO 12085 FTIR service ensures accuracy and precision in identifying functional groups within organic molecules and detecting impurities or additives in various materials. This method is particularly useful for quality control, research and development (R&D), and ensuring compliance with international standards such as ISO 17469.
The process begins with the preparation of the sample according to specific protocols that may vary depending on the material being analyzed. Once prepared, the sample is placed in the FTIR instrument where it interacts with infrared radiation. The interaction results in a spectrum that can be used for identification and quantification purposes.
In this service, we utilize state-of-the-art instruments from reputable manufacturers like Thermo Fisher Scientific and Bruker to ensure reliable and accurate data collection. Our team of skilled scientists ensures that each step of the process adheres strictly to ISO 12085 requirements, providing clients with confidence in their results.
The FTIR spectrum obtained is then analyzed by our experts who interpret it based on established standards and compare it against known reference spectra from databases like NIST. This ensures accurate identification of compounds within the sample. Additionally, we provide a detailed report summarizing all findings along with any recommendations for further action.
| Sample Type | Testing Method | Result Accuracy |
|---|---|---|
| Solid Samples | FTIR Spectroscopy | +/- 1% for qualitative analysis, +/- 5% for quantitative analysis |
| Liquid Samples | FTIR Spectroscopy | +/- 2% for qualitative analysis, +/- 8% for quantitative analysis |
The results of our ISO 12085 FTIR testing are crucial in various industries including pharmaceuticals, petrochemicals, food and beverage manufacturing, coatings & paints, and more. By providing accurate identification and quantification capabilities, we help clients maintain high standards of quality control.
