FTIR Spectroscopy
A technique used to obtain an infrared spectrum of a sample to identify its molecular structure and chemical properties. It uses libraries to rapidly identify components, and the spectra can also be interpreted by a skilled technician, who can obtain information about the functional groups present in the molecule.

HPLC-DAD
High-performance liquid chromatography with diode array detection. An analytical technique that separates chemical mixtures and analyzes them using UV-visible absorption. It allows for the identification and quantification of compounds based on their retention time and UV-visible spectra compared to reference standards.

NMR Spectroscopy
Nuclear magnetic resonance uses a strong magnetic field (400 MHz) and radio waves to obtain detailed information about molecular structure, identity, and dynamics. It allows us to identify and quantify substances and impurities with exceptional accuracy. GC-MS

GC-MS
Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry is an analytical technique that combines gas chromatography (GC), which separates chemical compounds, with mass spectrometry (MS), which ionizes and fragments chemical compounds for identification by measuring their mass-to-charge ratio. This creates unique fingerprints (mass spectra) for qualitative analysis in our substance control project.
