Aldrich Collection of FT-IR Spectra Edition II

Effectively perform qualitative identification of compounds with the Thermo Scientific™ Aldrich™ Collection of FT-IR Spectra Edition II, comprehensive collection of FT-IR spectral references.

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 spectra of 18,454 pure compounds
• Data format: High Resolution (HR)
• All spectra were acquired by Sigma-Aldrich, and were processed by Thermo Fisher Scientific
• Represents the largest Aldrich collection of spectra collected entirely by FT-IR instrumentation
• Eight smaller Aldrich Material Specific Sub-Libraries are also available
• Includes The Second Edition of the Aldrich Library of FT-IR Spectra (a three-volume book set)

• 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.
