Objective: To use Infrared Spectroscopy to determine the purity of specific samples of analagesics and prescription drugs.
Introduction:
Infrared Spectroscopy is a tool commonly used in identifying chemical compounds by. This technique is used most often in forensic laboratories to determine whether analgesic or prescription drugs were used in criminal investigations.
Materials: Saturated solutions, IR Cards, and Spectroscometer
Procedures:
Saturated solutions 1 drop of sample 4 & 6 was placed on the film of IR cards and placed in the Spectrometer and read.
Results/Data: Based on the readings from the Infrared Spectroscometer the following findings were found:
Sample 4 was determined to be Ibuprofen
Sample 6 was determined to be Tylenol
Discusssion & Conclusion:
This laboratory experiment's goal was to use Infrared Spectroscopy to determine which analgesics were present. I found that my samples contained Ibuprofen (sample 4) and Tylenol (sample 6) which are both over-the-counter drugs.
