Gas Chromatography – Mass Spectrometry
Spectroscopy versus Spectrometry
Spectroscopy is the study of how light interacts with matter. Spectrometry is a method of reading patterns in the spectra produced by spectroscopy. Functionally, the two terms end up being largely interchangeable in the majority of circumstances, because spectroscopy almost always involved spectrometry and vice versa.
Types of Spectroscopy & Spectrometry
IR Spectroscopy — infra-red spectroscopy. |

Types of NMR
H-NMR — proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. |
|
C13-NMR — carbon-13 nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. |
|
Cw-NMR — continuous wave nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. |
|
FT-NMR — Fourier-Transform nuclear magnetic resonance or pulsed nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. |
