The study focused on the applicability of these two techniques to determine if they can be used interchangeably for hazardous material identification or if there are inherent advantages and disadvantages to either method. Results from instruments that use Raman spectroscopy with various excitation lasers were compared to an instrument using IR spectroscopy. These instruments were run against a common set of chemicals that included both precursors and active chemicals that are of interest in the production and detection of explosives and narcotics.", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "url": "https://cbrneworld.com/" }, "publisher": { "@type": "Organization", "name": "CBRNe World Magazine", "logo": { "@type": "ImageObject", "url": "https://cbrneworld.com/images/default/Asset%201.png" } }, "author": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Ben Bray", "url": "https://cbrneworld.com/news/subscribers/a-report-on-the-analytical-comparison-of-raman-and-ft-ir-is-available-from" }, "datePublished": "2017-08-09T10:13:54+01:00", "dateCreated": "2017-08-09T10:13:54+01:00", "dateModified": "2018-12-14T15:55:28+00:00" }
