Data and Code for High Throughput FTIR Analysis of Macro and Microplastics with Plate Readers
Summary
This dataset and code support a method using FTIR plate readers to analyze large numbers of macro- and microplastic samples simultaneously. High-throughput FTIR analysis dramatically increases the speed of plastic identification compared to traditional one-sample approaches. The open-source tools make large-scale environmental microplastic monitoring more accessible.

Generation of macro- and microplastic databases by high-throughput FTIR analysis with microplate readers
Researchers developed a high-throughput FTIR analysis technique using microplate readers to rapidly characterize large microplastics and macroplastics, which have traditionally required slower manual methods. They created a reference database of over 6,000 spectra covering more than 600 plastic, organic, and mineral materials across multiple measurement modes. The study addresses key analytical bottlenecks in plastic pollution research by enabling faster, non-destructive identification of larger plastic particles.
