FTIR Analysis Services
Comprehensive Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) Analysis Services for Material Identification, Product Characterization, Quality Assurance, Failure Investigation, and Scientific Research
Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) Spectroscopy is one of the most widely used analytical
techniques for identifying organic, polymeric, and inorganic materials based on their unique
molecular structures. By measuring how materials absorb infrared light, FTIR provides valuable
information about chemical bonds, functional groups, molecular composition, and overall
material characteristics. This rapid, non-destructive analytical technique supports product
development, manufacturing quality, material verification, scientific investigations, and research
across numerous industries.
Organizations involved in food manufacturing, dietary supplements, pharmaceuticals,
biotechnology, medical devices, polymers, chemicals, packaging, consumer products, and
advanced materials rely on FTIR analysis to identify unknown substances, verify raw materials,
compare formulations, investigate contamination, evaluate manufacturing consistency, and
support quality assurance initiatives. Accurate molecular characterization allows organizations
to make informed technical decisions while strengthening manufacturing processes and product
quality.
CMDC Labs provides comprehensive FTIR Analysis Services for food manufacturers, dietary
supplement companies, pharmaceutical organizations, biotechnology firms, medical device
manufacturers, chemical companies, polymer manufacturers, packaging companies,

PFAS Water Testing
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) have emerged as one of the most critical environmental and public health concerns worldwide. Often referred to as “forever chemicals,” PFAS compounds are highly persistent, resistant to degradation, and capable of accumulating in water systems, soil, and the human body over time.
Drinking Water Contaminant Analysis
Drinking water is one of the most critical resources for public health, and even trace levels of contaminants can pose serious risks. Contamination may originate from natural sources, industrial activities, aging infrastructure, or environmental exposure, making regular and precise testing essential.
Heavy Metal Testing
Heavy metals such as lead (Pb), arsenic (As), cadmium (Cd), and mercury (Hg) are among the most critical contaminants monitored across industries including food, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, medical devices, and environmental systems.
Water Testing
Drinking water quality directly impacts public health, industrial operations, and regulatory compliance. Whether supplied through municipal systems, private wells, or industrial infrastructure, water must meet strict safety standards to ensure it is free from harmful contaminants.
