The instruments were regularly maintained and calibrated
The quality of the spectra has been verified by expert spectroscopists
Fine chemical producers in Japan provided the high purity samples
The samples were checked using NMR and MS
The data input was checked through secondary verification
Samples were measured with KBr, Liquid Film or Nujol with a spectral range of 4000 cm-1 to 400 cm-1 at a resolution of 2 cm-1 or 4 cm-1
