FTIR or Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy is a non-destructive, rapid, and precise form of infrared radiation spectroscopy. FTIR spectroscopy operates on the same principles as other IR spectroscopy, samples can be identified based on the spectra produced by the absorption of the infrared radiation. A portable FTIR spectrometer functions the same as a benchtop FTIR instrument, however, it makes rapid analysis of samples in the field possible as it is an entirely self-contained spectrometer. Portable FTIR spectrometers are user-friendly, and many instruments allow for programmable detection and alerts. Thanks to the non-destructive nature of FTIR analysis and the portability of a handheld FTIR spectrometer, FTIR spectroscopy is being used in numerous industries both in and outside of the laboratory such as food, art, historical artifacts, and many other traditional testing applications such as materials, polymers, and pharmaceuticals. When comparing portable or handheld FTIR spectrometers, consider the size of the unit, the wavelength range, resolution, and the sample interface.
