FDP ON FTIR/ATR

HANDLING AND

WORKING

Event: One day Faculty Development programme on FTIR/ATR Handling and

Working Venue: Research Unit, Science Deanery, Kristu Jayanti College
(Autonomous), Bengaluru

Time: 02:30 pm
Organized by: Department of Forensic Science, Kristu Jayanti College

Participants: Faculties of Sciences from the Department of Life Sciences,
Physical Sciences & Forensic Science.

On 20th of July, 2023, the Department of Forensic Science at Kristu Jayanti

College (Autonomous), Bengaluru, organized a one-day workshop on
"FTIR/ATR Handling and Working" for the teaching staff from the

Departments of Life Sciences and Physical Sciences. The objective of the
workshop was to familiarize the participants with the principles, techniques,

and applications of Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) with
Attenuated Total Reflection (ATR) in various scientific fields.
The workshop commenced with a warm welcome of all the HODs,

Coordinators and faculty members of the mentioned Departments by Mr. Don
Caeiro, Coordinator, Dept. of Forensic science, who also then introduced the

purpose of the workshop and emphasized the significance of FTIR/ATR in
scientific research and forensic investigations. The session covered the basic

principles of FTIR, including the interaction of infrared radiation with
molecules, molecular vibrations, and the concept of wavenumbers. The

participants gained a solid foundation in the fundamental concepts required to
understand FTIR/ATR working principles.
