Fiber product analysis using ATR PRO ONE VIEW

The molecular structure analysis of fiber material is very important method to evaluate new materials, to manage quality control of products, and to use for forensic purpose and criminal investigation. Because many of fiber materials are made differently through mixing with several materials and dye compounds to meet various kind of colors and feelings. As required in JIS L 1030, infrared spectroscopy is widely used in molecular structure analysis of fiber material. And ATR method is powerful way to perform measurements in terms of non-pre-treatment, non-destructive and easy-handling. JASCO's new FTIR accessory, ATR PRO ONE VIEW, is designed to perform the measurement and the sample observation simultaneously. This accessory allows to perform measurements with observing the sample contacted with prism, and to obtain visual image with color information. And software Spectra Manager enables to save spectra and the image together, which makes it possible to access both information easily to analyze sample efficiently.

In this application, the measurements of fiber products products are shown with using ATR PRO ONE VIEW.
