Plastic spectrometers are devices designed to analyze and measure the properties of light in various wavelengths. FTIR stands for Fourier transform infrared, the preferred method of infrared spectroscopy. When IR radiation passes through a sample, some radiation is absorbed by the sample and some passes through (is transmitted). 5% over the next decade, which means the market's value will surge to over $1 billion by 2034. FTIR is a non-destructive, non-consuming analytical technique that provides insight into the molecular structure and functional groups of organic, and some inorganic, compounds by studying their molecular vibrations.
