Fundamentals of FTIR: Learn how your FTIR works, insure your instrument is producing the best spectra, and to tackle the thorny problem of mixture analysis.

 

Hands-on Infrared Sample Preparation: Half the battle of obtaining a good spectrum is proper sample preparation. Learn to win that battle with our hands-on Infrared Sample Preparation course.

 

Infrared Spectral Interpretation I: Learn how molecules absorb infrared light, and how to use spectra to perform identities, determine unknowns, and analyze mixtures with our Infrared Spectral Interpretation I training course. The spectra of economically important molecules are emphasized, and students practice interpreting many spectra in class with the help of the instructor.

 

Infrared Spectral Interpretation II: A detailed look at infrared interpretation. Learn what all the features in a spectrum mean, and use this to interpret the spectra of economically important molecules with complex spectra. Students practice interpreting many spectra in class with the help of the instructor.

 

Infrared Spectral Interpretation III: Round out your interpretive skills with this course. Discover how to use library searching and spectral subtraction to pull apart complex spectra so they make sense. Includes a special discussion of inorganic spectra. Students practice interpreting many spectra in class with the help of the instructor.

 

Quantitative Spectroscopy: Theory and Practice: If you ever hope to obtain accurate concentration measurements with a spectrometer, you need to take this course.
