What is NIR?

NIR, or Near-Infrared spectroscopy, is a spectroscopic method that uses the near-infrared region of the electromagnetic spectrum (from about 780 nm to 2500 nm). It is commonly used for quantitative analysis in various fields such as agriculture, pharmaceuticals, food science, and polymer chemistry to determine the composition and quality of materials. It works by measuring the absorption and reflection of NIR light by a sample.

What other technologies are related to NIR?

NIR Competitor Technologies

Raman

Raman spectroscopy, like NIR, provides vibrational information about molecules and can be used for similar applications, making them competitors.

UV-Vis

UV-Vis spectroscopy measures electronic transitions, providing complementary but also competing information to NIR in some applications, such as concentration determination.

FTIR

FTIR (Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy) measures molecular vibrations in the mid-infrared region, similar to NIR, making them competitors, although they cover different spectral ranges.

FT-IR

FT-IR (Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy) measures molecular vibrations in the mid-infrared region, similar to NIR, making them competitors, although they cover different spectral ranges.

IR

IR (Infrared Spectroscopy) is a broader term encompassing both mid-IR and NIR, thus is a direct competitor.

UV

UV spectroscopy measures electronic transitions, similar to UV-Vis, providing complementary but also competing information to NIR in some applications, such as concentration determination.

NMR

Nuclear Magnetic Resonance spectroscopy provides detailed structural information about molecules, similar to NIR's ability to characterize materials, but using a different physical principle and providing different kinds of information, allowing for overlapping use cases.
