Analysis of organic polymeric materials
Bruker is a very good analytical company, who provides some well set up and easy to use analytical equipment. I have use their FTIR's as well as their low resolution NMR. I think this microscope is great at detecting very small samples and allowing the user to analyze small locations that are much more difficult with standard FTIR units.

QA/QC in beverage production: Cocoa mix and powdered drinks
Powdered beverages have seen a significant increase in demand in all age groups over the past decades. Just think of a hot cup of cocoa, or the Greek Frappé, which almost evokes a Mediterranean feeling and whose main ingredient is instant coffee. But there is a lot of science and analytics behind this "instant" path to delight. This includes a complex product development as well as quality control of the final product to ensure high production standards and customer satisfaction.
Failure Analysis of Paper: Determination of the Chemical Identity of Impurities and Inclusions
Since many paper types have a very inhomogeneous composition and defects are often extremely small, the analysis with macroscopic measurement methods is usually not possible. With the aid of an FTIR microscope, it is possible to measure an IR-spectrum anywhere on the sample with a high lateral resolution and thereby to determine the chemical composition of the defect. A mapping measurement allows the qualitative analysis of the components and the determination of the distribution on the measured sample area.
Microanalysis in Pharmaceutical Product Development and Trouble-Shooting
The demand on the quality of pharmaceutical products is very high. Raw and packaging materials as well as intermediate and final products must contain the correct components and need to be free from contaminations. In quality control analytical methods like Mid- and Near-IR spectroscopy and others allow to verify an overall correct identity and composition of the sample. However, contaminants like particles in liquid formulations or inclusions in tablets are often extremely small and cannot be detected selectively by such macroscopic methods. Therefore further analytical methods are needed to determine the accurate chemical nature of the particle or inclusion – valuable information that allows to find the source of contamination.
