Our FTIR Spectrometer Now Operating at an SGS Laboratory – A Testament to Quality and Reliability
We are proud to announce a significant milestone for our FTIR Spectrometer series. An SGS laboratory – one of the world's leading inspection, verification, testing, and certification companies – has selected, installed, and is now actively using our FTIR instrument for their professional testing operations.
Why This Matters
SGS is globally recognized for its rigorous standards and uncompromising commitment to quality. When SGS chooses an instrument for its laboratory, it is because that instrument has demonstrated:
Reliability – Consistent performance day after day
Accuracy – Results that can be trusted for critical decisions
Durability – Built to withstand demanding laboratory environments
Value – Performance that justifies the investment
Our FTIR Spectrometer has met these criteria and is now contributing to SGS's testing capabilities. This real-world validation speaks directly to the quality and performance of our instrumentation.

Key Applications – As Demonstrated at the SGS Laboratory
1. Polymer and Plastic Identification
Fast, reliable identification of polymer types – from commodity plastics (PE, PP, PVC, PS, PET) to engineering polymers (PA, PC, ABS, POM, PEEK) and elastomers. Our FTIR with ATR accessory enables direct measurement without sample preparation – a key advantage for high-throughput testing environments like SGS.
2. Contaminant and Failure Analysis
Unknown spots, residues, or foreign materials can be identified in minutes. The FTIR spectrum provides a molecular "fingerprint" that can be matched against reference libraries to determine composition. This is critical for failure analysis, quality investigations, and regulatory compliance testing.
3. Pharmaceutical Raw Material Verification
Incoming raw material inspection is a regulatory requirement for pharmaceutical manufacturers. Our FTIR provides fast, non-destructive verification of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), excipients, and packaging materials – helping ensure compliance with GMP and pharmacopoeia standards (USP, EP, JP).
4. Chemical Compound Identification
From fine chemicals to industrial intermediates, FTIR provides rapid identification of unknown substances. The SGS laboratory uses our instrument for routine chemical screening, supporting their testing and certification services across multiple client industries.
5. Environmental Sample Screening
Microplastics, soil contaminants, water pollutants – FTIR is increasingly used for environmental sample characterization. The technique is non-destructive and requires minimal sample preparation.
