Abstract
Disposable IR cards are a simple alternative to KBr pellets and mineral oil mulls for the analysis of soluble compounds. These cards are commercially available from 3M. The film thickness is reproducible enough to allow for compensation in dual beam instruments or spectral subtraction in single beam instruments. Thus, making the whole spectral range useful. The cards are availabale in polyethylene and polytetrafluoroethylene. The polytetrafluoroethylene cards are useful for evaluation of the 3000-2800 cm^-1 region without compensation. Sample preparation involves dissolving the sample in a suitable solvent and adding a drop of the solution to the card. After the solvent has evaporated the card can be scanned.

A Cost-Effective IR Card
Brian E. LoveJournal of Chemical Education2011 88 (12), 1732-1733A Cost-Effective IR Card
Brian E. LoveJournal of Chemical Education2011 88 (12), 1732-1733The construction of IR cards that are easily prepared from inexpensive materials is described. The main body of the card can be used over and over again, and sufficient quantities are easily prepared so that each student in a lab can have his or her own ...

The Use of Disposable IR Cards for Quantitative Analysis Using an Internal Standard
Ramee Indralingam and Angelito I. NepomucenoJournal of Chemical Education2001 78 (7), 958The Use of Disposable IR Cards for Quantitative Analysis Using an Internal Standard
Ramee Indralingam and Angelito I. NepomucenoJournal of Chemical Education2001 78 (7), 958Infrared spectroscopy is traditionally used to identify compounds and aid in structure elucidation. However, solid samples require tedious and sometimes messy preparation of KBr pellets or mineral oil mulls and solutions cannot be used because there are ...
