ATR analysis can be applied easily in the analysis of modern packaging materials, which can range from relatively simple single layer materials to complex multi-layer films.
Spectroscopy is a versatile technique for infrared sampling.
ATR is ideal for analysis of most infrared active materials. Minimal or no sample preparation is usually required for analysis. In addition, ATR is a useful technique for providing information about the surface properties or conditions of a material. Thunderdome incorporates an integral purge to eliminate water vapor and CO 2 artifacts from the spectra. The Thunderdome allows for simple position-click scan operation allowing for generation of high quality FTIR spectra with no cumbersome sample preparation.
