FTIR 101: Intro to FTIR Spectrometry for Gas Detection

Webinar Date
  • Thu September 19, 2024
    10:00 AM 1 hour

Discover Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, a robust analytical technique ideal for industrial gas analysis applications such as ambient air monitoring, emissions testing, and gas purity. 

This webinar offers the opportunity to broaden your knowledge of the inner workings of FTIR spectrometry, and learn how it is used to accurately measure chemical compounds, with a particular focus on gas detection.

Additionally, participants will gain insight into optically enhanced FTIR (OE-FTIR) spectrometry, a technology advancement that further expands analytical capabilities, enabling rapid and sensitive gas measurements in real-time.

Attend this webinar and you will learn:

  • Basics of infrared spectroscopy
  • Components of a standard FTIR
  • Advantages of FTIR over other infrared techniques
  • How the FTIR signal is processed.
  • How the FTIR spectrum and software provide the analytical measurement of a gas mixture
  • What OE-FTIR spectrometry is and how it works 

Who should attend this event?

This webinar will be of interest to individuals in the following job roles in disciplines such as battery testing, carbon capture monitoring, semiconductors, and specialty gas manufacturing.

  • Analytical Chemists
  • Environmental Engineers
  • Environmental Health & Safety Managers
  • Process Managers
  • QA Manager
  • Researchers who need advanced analytical techniques in the sensitive measurements of gases
  • Source testers
  • Technologists for specialty gases
  • Anyone who operates and/or specifies analytical process monitoring technology
