Using these libraries with the OMNIC Linked Search software compares both an FT-IR and Raman spectrum of the sample against a matched set spectral reference data in the libraries. Matching the sample via types of spectra and collating the results greatly increases the quality of search which increases the confidence in the results for making a positive identification.
