The feasibility of performing quantitativeanalysis with short segments of bandpass-filtered Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) interferograms is demonstrated. The protocol developed in this work addresses fourlimitations that hinder the use of FT-IR spectroscopy in nonlaboratoiy applications:(1) the need for a rugged, low-cost, and reliable spectrometer,(2) the lack of representative background spectra for use in acquiring absorbance spectra of the target analyte,(3) the presence of overlap-ping spectral bands that interfere with the analyte deter-mination, and (4) the difficulty in obtaining useful information from data collected near the limit ofdetection. In this work, spectral information pertaining to a specific analyte band of interest is isolated directly from a short interferogram segment by the application of narrow-bandpass digital filters. When processed inthis way, the filtered interferogram segments contain compound-spe-cific information that can be utilized for quantitative analysis. Successful use of a univariate calibration procedure withfiltered interferogram data of benzene and nitrobenzene of varying concentrations is demonstrated. Calibrations based on filtered interferogram segment magnitudes vs concentration yield models with values of R1 2 in excess of 99%. These results are obtained without the use of a separate background or reference interferogram. This interferogram-based analysis is shown to perform analogously to a conventional spectral-based analysis, with the interferogram method being more efficient in terms of data collection and computational requirements.Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy has been used in a variety of dedicated analyses such as the detection of smokestack emissions, 1 air monitoring in the workplace, 2 and in-line monitoring for chemical process control. 3 In addition, feasibility studies have been conductedthat may lead to routine applications of FT-IR spectroscopy in monitoring biological processes4 and for noninvasive determinations of clinically sig-nificant analytes such as blood glucose. 5 The practical utility of FT-IR spectroscopy in these nonlaboratory applications is largely
