Key Applications
Potassium bromide powder is commonly used in:
- Preparing KBr pellets for IR spectroscopy
- FTIR sample preparation
- Qualitative and quantitative analysis of organic compounds
- Research and educational lab experiments
Why Use Potassium Bromide in Spectroscopy?
Potassium bromide is preferred in IR spectroscopy because it is transparent to infrared light in the range of 4000–400 cm⁻¹. Unlike other materials, it does not absorb IR radiation, making it perfect for sample analysis.
Its hygroscopic nature requires proper storage to maintain purity. Always store in a dry, airtight container to prevent moisture absorption.
Safety and Handling
Potassium bromide is generally safe but should be handled with care. Avoid inhalation and direct contact with skin or eyes. Use in a well-ventilated area and wear appropriate lab safety gear.
