Abstract A rapid, simple, and nondestructive method of sample preparation and analysis is described for the infrared spectrophotometric analysis of synthetic fibers. This method uses a combined diamond cell and sapphire cell technique that yields highly resolved spectra with microgramsize fiber samples. From these highly resolved spectra, the generic type of fiber can be readily determined. Although the fiber sample has been physically crushed, it is not destroyed during the analysis and can be further examined by other analytical methods.

Contact Surfaces

A rapid method for detection and quantitation of lipid-containing food soils on food-contact surfaces has been developed to ascertain whether these surfaces have been properly cleaned. The method is based on transfer of lipid-based soils from a food-contact surface to a polyethylene film and subsequent quantitation of the lipid, at 1750 cm−1, by infrared spectrophotometry. Peak height at 1750 cm−1 is linearly related to the quantity of lipid on the polyethylene surface. Standard curves for peak-height against lipid distribution on the polyethylene film were constructed for stainless steel, glass and three types of plastic cutting board material (high density polyethylene, smooth nylotrol and rough nylotro).

The binary gaseous diffusion coefficients of air with methane, methyl chloride, methylene chloride, chloroform, and carbon tetrachloride at 298.2 °K and 1 atm have been determined. A simple diffusion cell was used, in which concentration changes of the diffusing gas were followed by infrared spectrophotometry.

Novel Algorithm

Abstract Background: The conventional method of measuring total body water by the deuterium isotope dilution method uses gas isotope ratio mass spectrometry (IRMS), which is both expensive and time-consuming. We investigated an alternative method, using Fourier transform infrared spectrophotometry (FTIR), which uses less expensive instrumentation and requires little sample preparation. Method: Total body water measurements in human subjects were made by obtaining plasma, saliva, and urine samples before and after oral dosing with 1.5 mol of deuterium oxide. The enrichments of the body fluids were determined from the FTIR spectra in the range 1800–2800 cm−1, using a novel algorithm for estimation of instrumental response, and by IRMS for comparison. Results: The CV (n = 5) for repeat determinations of deuterium oxide in biological fluids and calibrator solutions (400–1000 μmol/mol) was found to be in the range 0.1–0.9%. The use of the novel algorithm instead of the integration routines supplied with the instrument gave at least a threefold increase in precision, and there was no significant difference between the results obtained with FTIR and those obtained with IRMS. Conclusion: This improved infrared method for measuring deuterium enrichment in plasma and saliva requires no sample preparation, is rapid, and has potential value to the clinician.

Abstract The use of infrared spectrophotometry for the identification of elastomers is discussed, after having reviewed the general principles on which spectrophotometry is based and after having considered the principal types of atomic vibration. There follows a description of the principal methods of analysis for solution and pyrolysis, the presentation of the spectra obtained from 14 different elastomers and their mixtures, and finally the assignment of the fundamental bands in the spectra themselves.
