⟩ What is a good method of analyzing powders for composition?

A method known as Fourier transform-infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy is often used for this purpose. FT-IR sends light beams of varying wavelength through the sample and the reflected light is analyzed by spectroscopy to find the absorption of each wavelength. The measured wavelengths are compared with a reference laser and the sample composition can be calculated. Analect Instruments Inc. specializes in FT-IR measurement.
