13.16 : IR 分光法の用途: 概要

IR spectroscopy, being non-destructive in nature, has a wide range of scientific and industrial applications.

It is extensively employed to analyze and characterize organic and inorganic compounds, providing information about the presence of functional groups and the connectivity of atoms in a molecule.

This technique enables the detection and quantification of environmental pollutants by analyzing air, water, and soil samples.

It plays a critical role in quality control and analysis in the pharmaceutical and food and beverage industries.

This technique is essential in forensics for identifying the composition of trace evidence at crime scenes.

It is utilized in art conservation and archaeology to examine and analyze materials used in artworks and historical artifacts.

Biomedical research benefits from this technique, particularly in analyzing biomolecules. It can provide information about the secondary structure of proteins, detect disease markers, and study drug-target interactions.
