Product Content Analysis

Product content analysis is an essential tool for promoting and marketing products. In this way, both the confidence in the product is ensured and the visibility and awareness of the product is increased.

The abbreviation FTIR is an acronym for Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. This is a method used to obtain the infrared absorption or emission spectrum of a solid, liquid or gas. An FTIR spectrometer simultaneously collects high-resolution spectral data over a wide spectral range. It is a widely used method in product content analysis. The term Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) is based on the fact that a Fourier transform (i.e. a mathematical operation) is required to convert raw data into real spectrum. With the FTIR method, the structural components of the product are easily detected.

With FTIR spectroscopy, it is possible to quickly and accurately detect various organic and inorganic materials, plastics and polymers, various components, paints, fillers, coatings and adhesives. This method is used in various processes of a product, including design, production and error analysis. It is also a useful tool in quality control work and problem solving.

The main chemical tests used in product content analysis are:

• Gas chromatography - Mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Gas chromatography is the preferred separation technique for smaller volatile and semi-volatile organic molecules such as hydrocarbons, alcohols, and aromatics, as well as pesticides, steroids, fatty acids, and hormones. This analytical technique is widely used in many application areas, especially in food safety and environmental testing. Combined with the detection power of mass spectrometry, the GC-MS technique is used to separate complex mixtures, measure analytes, identify unknown peaks and detect trace contamination levels.
• Liquid chromatography - Tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS-MS). This technique is a powerful analytical technique that combines the separation power of liquid chromatography with the highly sensitive and selective mass analysis capability of triple quadrupole mass spectrometry.

The main physical tests used in product content analysis are:

• TGA is a thermogravimetric analyzer technique. With TGA technique, thermal stability, decomposition, redox, adsorption and desorption, free water and crystal water content and component ratio are calculated.
• DSC, It is a differential scanning calorimetry method. With this technique, melting, crystallization, phase change, reaction temperature and reaction heat, combustion heat and specific heat are determined.
