Example libraries
The following sections describe the example libraries provided with your OMNIC
software. These small libraries are subsets of libraries that you can purchase from
Thermo Nicolet. If you are unfamiliar with using libraries, try the example libraries
to learn how spectral searching and specific spectral libraries can be used to analyze
data. Spectral searching is one of the most used analysis techniques in FT-IR
spectroscopy. To see the contents of the libraries, use Library Manager in the
Analyze menu. See “Managing libraries” later in this chapter for details.
A list of the compounds in the full reference libraries is provided with your
OMNIC software. To view the list, plus other information about the reference
libraries, click the Start button on the Windows taskbar, point to Programs, point
to the Thermo Nicolet folder, and then click the Library Listings item.
If you need more information about the reference libraries, call Thermo Nicolet at
800-642-6538. If you are outside the U.S.A., contact your local Thermo Nicolet
representative. A listing of all Thermo Nicolet offices is available on our web site:
http//www.thermonicolet.com. Telephone numbers for all Thermo Nicolet offices
are provided with your manual set.
Aldrich Vapor
Phase Sample Library
All of the spectra in the Aldrich Vapor Phase Sample Library are also included in
the complete Aldrich Vapor-Phase FT-IR Spectral Library. The complete library
contains over 6,000 FT-IR spectra of compounds measured in the gas phase. The
spectra were acquired by Aldrich Chemical Co. using samples of their products.
All of the Aldrich spectra are available in printed form in the Aldrich Library of
FT-IR Spectra, Edition 1, Volume 3.
Georgia State Crime
Lab Sample Library
All of the spectra in the Georgia State Crime Lab Sample Library are also included
in the complete Georgia State Forensic Drugs FT-IR Spectral Library. The complete
library contains over 1,900 infrared spectra of drugs and drug-related compounds.
The spectra were collected at 4 cm-1 spectral resolution.
Samples include drugs, diluents, drug precursors and other drug-related
compounds. Whenever possible, samples were secured as “pure” drug standards
from the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), Applied Sciences
Laboratories, United States Pharmacopeial Conventions, Inc., or various
pharmaceutical companies. The sample purity was usually greater than 95% and,
in many cases, the purity was greater than 99%.
Hummel Polymer
Sample Library
All of the spectra in the Hummel Polymer Sample Library are also included in the
complete Hummel Polymers and Additives FT-IR Spectral Library. The complete
library contains over 2,000 spectra of polymers, solvents, monomers and industrial
organic compounds. The spectra were collected at the Institute of Physical
Chemistry at the University of Cologne (Köln).
The library spectra were originally acquired at 4 cm-1 spectral resolution. They were
then mathematically deresolved when converted to Thermo Nicolet library format.
Aldrich Condensed
Phase Sample Library
All of the spectra in the Aldrich Condensed Phase Sample Library are also included
in the complete Aldrich FT-IR Collection, Edition 2 library. The complete library
contains over 18,000 FT-IR spectra of substances, most of which are pure organic
compounds.
