A pellet (4) for use in spectrometry includes a first powder (41) of a light transmitting material in a compression-molded form, and a second powder (42) which is hydrophilic and water-insoluble and is dispersedly mixed in the first powder. A sample (40) to be subjected to spectrometry is e.g. in a powdery form and dispersedly mixed in the first and the second powders (41) and (42), When the sample (40) is a hydrate, the second powder (42) exerts the effect of accelerating dehydration of the sample (40), so that stable spectrum data on the sample in the dehydrated state is obtained early. This makes it possible to perform a processing such as identification of the sample (40) early and precisely. |
