Description

Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) is a reliable analytical instrument in polymer analysis. It furnishes crucial insights into the chemical structure and functional groups within the polymer, enabling researchers to grasp its properties and yielding significant data for quality assessment. Employed within our chemical laboratories, this equipment aids in the formulation of novel polymers spanning from recyclable materials to the development of pharmaceuticals targeting cancer and viral infections.
