Applied Interpretation of FTIR spectra | Anthias Consulting
Your advanced guide to interpreting spectra produced by Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy.
Go beyond the basics of FTIR spectral interpretation with this 1-day classroom-based training course for interpreting FTIR spectra. Designed for those students, professionals and chemists who have a solid understanding of FTIR but want to enhance their knowledge further, rather than having to rely on library search matches. Learn the fundamental tools used in FTIR spectral interpretation and gets lots or practice with more than 15 exercises. Every FTIR analyst should have a solid understanding of FTIR spectra and how to interpret them correctly and ensure their library search results make sense!
This course aims to enhance FTIR spectra knowledge, from learning the basics of FTIR interpretation, including, transmittance vs absorbance, molecular bonds and deformation energies, to recognising from a spectrum what functional groups a compound may contain based on characteristic ‘bends’ and ‘stretches’ that different groups produce. This course covers groups such as alcohols, aromatic compounds, carboxylic acids, nitrogen groups, oxygen, sulphur and halide containing compounds.
This course combines the theoretical side of FTIR interpretation alongside a good proportion of exercises to reinforce the topics learnt throughout this course.
