Why attend this event?

Understanding materials often requires more than a single analytical technique.

While FTIR reveals chemical composition, Raman spectroscopy provides molecular information and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) exposes surface morphology and microstructural features. Used together, these complementary techniques provide a more complete understanding of your materials, helping laboratories solve complex analytical challenges with greater confidence.

During this seminar, application specialists from Thermo Fisher Scientific and Benelux Scientific will explain the fundamentals of each technique, demonstrate real-world applications and provide live demonstrations using state-of-the-art analytical instruments.

What you will learn

During this practical seminar you will discover:

  • The principles behind FTIR, Raman spectroscopy and SEM
  • When each analytical technique delivers the greatest value
  • How combining multiple techniques leads to more reliable material characterization
  • Best practices for sample preparation
  • Real-world application examples across multiple industries
  • Live demonstrations performed by application specialists
  • Opportunities to discuss your own analytical challenges with experts
