EPA Vapor Phase FT-IR Spectral Library

A focused collection of gas phase spectra of interest in environmental monitoring, the Thermo Scientific™ EPA Vapor Phase FT-IR Spectral Library contains materials selected for inclusion by the U.S. EPA.

Take the guesswork out of your spectral analysis and create greater efficiencies in your lab. Our comprehensive libraries feature fully-reviewed, high-quality spectroscopy databases, enabling confident compound identification for a variety of environmental, forensic, pharmaceutical and industrial applications.

• Contains 3,300 spectra
• Acquired by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in the late 1970s and early 1980s
• Spectra collected with a heated gas cell for use in the identification of typical GC-IR eluents
• Data format: High Resolution (HR)

• Spectral library searching has long been an extraordinarily valuable tool in the analytical chemist's toolbox. Our extensive series of spectral libraries includes information specific to application, industry or spectral technique.
• Spectral library searching based on digital matching of spectral signatures is a very effective way of performing qualitative identification of compounds. Because FT-IR and Raman spectroscopic signatures are based on molecular functional groups, even if the exact compound is not present in the libraries, the list of matching compounds from a spectral library search can often lead to identification—or at least classification—of the material.
• Thermo Scientific libraries span applications for Hazmat, Forensics, Food, Polymers and Organic Chemistry.
