Into the Groove: Analytical Applications of ATR-FTIR Microstructured Internal Reflection Elements

Modern approaches and technical developments in attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) spectroscopy are leading to new analytical science opportunities. As ATR-FTIR solidifies its foothold as a mature analytical tool, progressively implemented to clinical applications, microstructured internal reflection elements (μ-IREs) are becoming increasingly important.
