About Spectral Libraries:

• Spectral library searching has long been an extraordinarily valuable tool in the analytical chemist's toolbox.
• Spectral library searching based on digital matching of spectral signatures is a very effective way of performing qualitative identification of compounds. Because FTIR 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.
• Our extensive series of spectral libraries include information specific to application, industry or spectral technique. Thermo Scientific libraries span applications for Hazmat, Forensics, Food, Polymers and Organic Chemistry.
