I have FTIR-ATR (GladiATR, 45°) absorption spectra of several PET foils that have been differently surface treated. The absorbance varies strongly from sample to sample and even between individual measurements of the same sample.
Now, I want to properly compare the individual spectra to one another. What is the proper procedure?
1. Rescale raw spectra so that one strong peak shows the same peak height / or peak area? How to properly do this in OPUS?
2. Background correct with what kind of function in OPUS?
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
