Jun 28, 2013 · Learn why FTIR analysis is used to test surface contaminants and how it can alert a company to dangerous bacteria in this post by Innovatech Labs Resource Center.

Feb 1, 2024 · FTIR spectroscopy provides the opportunity to obtain biochemical fingerprinting data that reveal the molecular structure and composition in a non-destructive and rapid manner. The FTIR spectroscopy's organism fingerprints are incredibly accurate and show the sample's chemical composition.

Hence it is vital to ensure that an appropriate mold compound type and sufficient PMC was applied to achieve desired package integrity and reliability. In this study, a range of cured compounds with various types of resin composition were analyzed using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR).

Feb 1, 2015 · FTIR spectroscopy coupled with chemometric method represents a promising technique to discriminate and identify filamentous fungi in routine laboratories. Moreover, this technique is rapid, easy to use, and less expensive compared to other methods such as …

Jan 3, 2014 · Routine identification of fungi based on phenotypic and genotypic methods can be fastidious and time-consuming. In this context, there is a constant need for new approaches allowing the rapid identification of molds. Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy appears as such an indicated method. …

Specialized infrared spectrographic instruments have been developed, the most useful of which is the Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectrometer. The industry uses three different types of FTIR spectrometers: Microscope FTIR, Bench FTIR, and a portable hand-held FTIR.

Carefully remove disk from mold. NOTE: If the pellet disk is not smooth or transparent, you will need to repeat the process above. Lower the wt% polymer in the sample in an effort to produce a transparent disk.

Jan 10, 2008 · Unique Infrared signature at 1400-1650 wavenumber region is detected, corresponding to aromatic C=C absorption of mainly epoxy and hardener structures, that enables one to differentiate between...

Aims: The aim of the study was to apply Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) as a rapid screening method for moulds in a specific food production environment (cured meat) and to evaluate whether the method was sufficiently accurate to distinguish Penicillium species that constitute a hazard for the food quality and safety (Penicillium ...

This study describes the results of mold’s surface contamination during processing a rubber compound in terms of material and surface treatment. A met-hod of spectral analysis in terms of FTIR was used for proper examination of this problem.
