Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) has been gaining popularity as an analytical tool due to advances in the power of personal computers, which allow the extraction of chemical and physical information about a sample, and the utilization of cost efficient and robust CCD array-based spectrometers. In this review, applications of NIRS are explored, within various fields of analytical chemistry, which take advantage of the inherent rapid analysis time and minimal sample preparation that is possible. For the purposes of illustration, the usefulness and limitations of a novel, PbS array-based spectrometer are described in the context of its application to the analysis of a variety of samples.
