Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) is a technique used to obtain infrared spectrum based on the amount of absorption or transmittance of IR in a sample. FTIR is frequently used in a wide range of structural analysis and non-destructive measurement applications.​

2. Highly absorbing samples (e.g. thick polymers, carbon black, and some organic dyes)
3. Samples with rough surfaces.
4. Samples with low refractive indices (e.g., air, oils, or some polymers)
5. Samples with strong luminescence.

ATR Sample preparation:
