Webinar 2:
Foundations of FTIR: Transmission and ATR Sampling

Watch on demand today!

Transmission and Attenuated Total Reflection – ATR – are the two most common methods for sampling in FTIR, with many labs using both. Transmission has the highest sensitivity in general and almost universal application, while ATR is simple and fast. This webinar will cover the similarities and differences in these techniques, showing their strengths and weaknesses.

Topics will include:

  • Theory: A comparison of transmission and ATR
  • Choosing the right technique: transmission cells and ATR crystals
  • Cleaning as a major source of reproducibility
  • Applications examples: gases, liquids and solids

Duration:
40 minutes with an additional 15 minutes for QA
