INTOCHEMISTRY / LAB INTERPRETATION
IR & GC Learning Center
Move from spectrum quality to functional-group evidence, chromatographic reasoning, and integrated lab conclusions.
Interpreting IR Functional-Group Evidence
Read a spectrum from high to low wavenumber, identify useful combinations of absorptions, and state conclusions with appropriate uncertainty.
Open lesson →
Evaluating IR Spectrum Quality
Recognize when atmosphere, saturation, baseline distortion or poor sample preparation undermine your interpretation.
Open lesson →
Reading GC Retention Times and Peak Areas
Interpret retention times, integrated detector responses, relative areas, and the evidence needed for compound identification.
Open lesson →
Combining GC, IR, and Recovered-Mass Evidence
Compare observations from complementary techniques without hiding disagreements or overstating what one measurement proves.
