Food Safety Testing: Identifies contaminants, foreign particles, and unknown residues in food products to support product quality, regulatory compliance, and production continuity.
Manufacturing Quality Control: Characterizes defects, contaminants, polymers, coatings, paints, and other industrial materials, helping manufacturers investigate quality issues, reduce product recalls, and improve production efficiency.
Failure Analysis: Supports rapid identification of unknown materials associated with product failures, contamination events, and root-cause investigations across multiple industries.
Routine Material Identification: Delivers fast chemical identification of microscopic particles, fibers, films, and other unknown samples in laboratories requiring efficient day-to-day analytical support.

The addition of the Thermo Scientific Nicolet iN5 FTIR Microscope can strengthen laboratory's capability for microscopic chemical characterization and contaminant identification. By combining optical microscopy with FTIR spectroscopy in a single platform, the system enables rapid, non-destructive analysis of microscopic samples while ensuring that spectral data are collected precisely from the area of interest. Its intuitive workflow, stable optical configuration, and flexible sampling capabilities support routine quality control, contamination analysis, failure investigation, and material verification.
