What Does ATR Stand For?

ATR stands for Attenuated Total Reflectance

ATR, or Attenuated Total Reflectance, is a powerful spectroscopic technique used to analyze the surface and near-surface properties of materials. It involves measuring the absorption of infrared light as it is reflected at the interface of a sample and a crystal, allowing for the investigation of chemical compositions and molecular structures without extensive sample preparation. ATR is widely utilized in various fields, including chemistry, biology, and materials science, due to its ability to provide rapid and non-destructive analysis.
