The potassium bromide disk technique has been adapted for quantitative microanalysis of compounds which are soluble in organic solvents, but insoluble in water. The principal improvements of the technique comprise exclusive use of freeze drying for preparation of suspensions of samples in solid potassium bromide, avoidance of contamination during the sample preparation, and lubrication of the die with graphite The present experimental data indicate that the disk technique can be used for quantitative infrared microanalysis of binary mixtures of complex organic compounds.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
