Infrared Spectroscopy
Infrared spectroscopy, a powerful analytical technique, plays a pivotal role in modern scientific research across various disciplines. By probing the interaction between matter and electromagnetic radiation in the infrared region, this method provides invaluable insights into molecular structure, chemical composition, and functional groups within a sample. Widely utilized in fields such as chemistry, biology, pharmaceuticals, and materials science, infrared spectroscopy enables researchers to identify compounds, monitor reactions, and elucidate complex molecular phenomena with remarkable precision and sensitivity. Its versatility and non-destructive nature make it an indispensable tool for both qualitative and quantitative analysis in diverse scientific investigations.
