In-depth soil characterization using multispectral range FT-IR spectroscopy
Soil analysis is essential for modern agriculture and environmental science, for the determination of the chemical, physical and biological soil properties. Besides XRF, Raman and mass spectroscopy FT-IR is one of the most powerful techniques to uncover soil characteristics.
Different spectral ranges in FT-IR spectroscopy can provide valuable information from different perspectives: VIS for color and soil organic matter; NIR for moisture, texture and chemicals; MIR for minerals, C/N ratio, structural attributes etc.
To achieve thorough soil insights with highest efficiency, Bruker offers a multispectral range soil analysis solution based on the INVENIO FT-IR R&D spectrometer with fully automated switching between spectral ranges.
