Fourier-Transform Infrared spectroscopy is a commonly used problem-solving tool. The infrared analysis provides general information about a sample's chemical composition. The infrared spectrum can be used to confirm the identity of a material or provide generic information regarding an unknown material's chemical family. A variety of sample handling accessories makes this a versatile technique for examining gases, liquids and solids.

• Identification of particle contaminants, film inclusions, or samples of microgram quantities by infrared microscopy.
• Identification of polymeric resins and other low-volatility, viscous materials that can be formed into thin films.
• Photoacoustic analysis for identification of cured or insoluble materials such as composite materials, sludges, gels, thermoplastic parts and inorganic fillers.
• Near-surface attenuated total reflectance (ATR) analysis for the study of adhesion, coating problems, surface contaminants and identification of pliable materials such as elastomers and coated adhesives.
