FTIR Fingerprinting for Material Identification
What FTIR Fingerprinting Is
FTIR fingerprinting uses Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectroscopy to identify and compare materials based on their unique infrared absorption patterns. Pentyl Labs applies this technique as a fast and non-destructive way to verify material identity and evaluate product authenticity.
Each substance produces a distinct infrared spectrum. This spectrum acts as a chemical “fingerprint” that reflects the functional groups and molecular structure present in the sample. By comparing spectra, analysts can confirm whether a material matches a known reference.
Why Manufacturers Use FTIR Fingerprinting
Manufacturers use FTIR fingerprinting to confirm raw material identity, detect substitution, and screen for adulteration. This approach helps prevent quality issues before they affect finished products.
FTIR fingerprinting also supports incoming raw material checks, batch-to-batch comparisons, and investigations when unexpected changes occur. Because the technique does not destroy the sample, it allows rapid screening without extensive preparation.
Analytical Method Overview
FTIR measures how a sample absorbs infrared light across a range of wavelengths. The resulting spectrum highlights key chemical features such as alcohols, esters, hydrocarbons, and other functional groups.
Pentyl Labs compares test spectra against reference materials, historical batches, or library spectra. Clear matches confirm identity, while differences may indicate formulation changes, contamination, or degradation.
Products Commonly Evaluated
FTIR fingerprinting applies to raw materials, cosmetic formulations, personal care products, cleaning formulations, polymers, oils, waxes, and finished goods. The method works well for solids, liquids, and semi-solids.
Manufacturers often request FTIR fingerprinting during supplier qualification, product development, or quality investigations. It also serves as a screening tool before more detailed analytical testing.
How Results Are Used
Results provide rapid confirmation of material consistency. Manufacturers use FTIR data to support quality control decisions, investigate deviations, and document product identity.
FTIR fingerprinting frequently complements Chemical Analysis Services and Authenticity Testing Programs. Together, these services provide a stronger understanding of formulation integrity.
Summary
Overall, FTIR fingerprinting offers a fast and reliable way to verify material identity and detect changes. The method supports quality assurance, authenticity verification, and confident product release across many industries.
