FTIR is a powerful tool for the identification of specific isomers of controlled substances and when integrated with MS, accuracy of identification is superior. By joining the strengths of the FTIR and MS detectors, the characterization of unknowns is easily performed in a single analysis. FTIR allows for spectral distinction between positional isomers where identification by MS is limited.
As a walk-up instrument, the DiscovIR-GC® system is designed to meet the needs of forensic drug chemistry laboratories and make use of spectral databases for rapid and accurate identification of unknowns through the orthogonal information gathered from FTIR.
