Questions asked by users might not always be phrased in the clearest way.
Yes, we can quantify samples in FTIR using a technique called quantitative FTIR or FTIR spectroscopy. This technique involves the analysis of the infrared spectrum of a sample to determine the concentration of a specific analyte or analytes. FTIR spectroscopy is based on the principle that molecules absorb infrared radiation at specific frequencies that correspond to the vibrational modes of the functional groups present in the molecule. The intensity of the absorption is directly proportional to the concentration of the analyte. Quantitative FTIR can be used to determine the concentration of a wide variety of analytes in a variety of matrices. The technique is particularly well-suited for the analysis of complex samples, such as biological samples, polymers, and environmental samples.
