*Deadline Extended*
Spectroscopy is seeking contributed manuscripts for its August 2018 supplement on infrared (IR) spectroscopy, including far-infrared, mid-infrared, and near-infrared (NIR) techniques.
Manuscript Scope and Format
Articles may address fundamental issues in IR spectroscopy, recent advances in methods, or applications of IR methods.
Manuscripts should be approximately 2000–2500 words long, including an abstract of approximately 150–200 words, plus up to six figures and tables combined. Applications articles should follow a standard experimental article format. Figures and tables, along with their captions, should appear at the end of the manuscript, and figures also must be sent as separate files, preferably in JPG, TIF, PNG, PPT, or XLS format. References should be called out using numbers in parentheses and listed at the end of the manuscript in numerical order.
Submissions from equipment manufacturers will be considered but must be devoid of promotional content; discussions of new technology should not focus on a specific manufacturer’s instrument.
Deadlines:
Deadlines for this special issue have been extended to the following dates:
Due date for abstract submission: April 30, 2018
Due date for completed articles: June 22, 2018
Where to submit:
Send all proposals and completed articles to Editor Laura Bush, at laura.bush@ubm.com (tel. +1.732.346.3020).

New SERS-Microfluidic Platform Classifies Leukemia Using Machine Learning
January 14th 2025A combination of surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) and machine learning on microfluidic chips has achieved an impressive 98.6% accuracy in classifying leukemia cell subtypes, offering a fast, highly sensitive tool for clinical diagnosis.
Advancing Soil Carbon Analysis Post-Wildfire with Spectroscopy and Machine Learning
January 14th 2025Researchers from the University of Oviedo used diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS) and machine learning (ML) to analyze post-wildfire soil organic carbon fractions, identifying key spectral regions and algorithms for advancing remote sensing applications.
Oligonucleotide Analysis in Pharmaceutical Quality Control
January 14th 2025Melting point determination using ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectrophotometry can be used as a sequence-specific method for identifying therapeutic oligonucleotides in pharmaceutical quality control. This method offers a simple, highly selective approach to differentiate between isomers and ensure the integrity of oligonucleotide active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and drug products.
The Optical Properties of Solid Samples
January 14th 2025Transmittance and reflectance measurements, which are useful for estimating the effects of various physical processes, can include thermal treatments, ionizing radiation exposure, optical exposure, and mechanical treatments—on both crystals and thin films.
