FTIR Crystal Reference Guide

Issue

Determining the crystal materials best suited for infrared sampling needs

Environment

Fourier Transform Infrared systems

Resolution

Major considerations in choosing materials are:

• Frequency range,
• Solubility of the sample,
• Refractice Index,
• Reactivity with the sample, and
• Mechanical and thermal characteristics.

Use the attached Crystal Reference Guide to determine the crylstal materials best suited for infrared sampling needs.
