Accurate fluorine determination in organic matrices like polymers, fuels, and oils remains one of analytical chemistry's most persistent challenges. In this Dedicated Dialogue, Holger Sievers, PhD, Product Manager of Atomic Absorption Spectrometry at Analytik Jena, explains why conventional techniques fall short and introduces a novel approach that combines pyrohydrolytic combustion with high-resolution continuum source molecular absorption spectrometry. This method delivers faster, more sensitive, and more reliable fluorine measurement across a range of industries.

Pittcon award winners unpack biopharma column tech and AI-driven chromatography, sharing career insights and practical method-development lessons.

In this episode, podcast co-hosts Dr. Dwight Stoll and Dr. James Grinias talk with Professor Kelly Hines. Dr. Hines is an associate professor in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Georgia in Athens.

Here in Episode #41, podcast host Dr. Jerry Workman speaks with Sunil Mehrotra and Doug Modlin, who are the project leaders of the Albert Michelson Exhibit at the Angels Camp Museum located in Angels Camp, California.

In this episode, podcast co-hosts Dr. Dwight Stoll and Dr. James Grinias talk with Professor Luis Colon about the influence his father had on his pursuit of science and his interest in materials development for chromatography.

In this episode of Analytically Speaking, explore the intersection of forensic science and cannabis research with Brent Wilson as he shares insights on analytical chemistry and standards.

Sandra Wunsch, Application Specialist at Analytik Jena, gives us exciting insights into the analysis of bread for potassium bromate using spectroscopy and why the SPECORD PLUS is the best choice for this.

Creating uniform and repeatable monolayers is incredibly important for both scientific pursuits as well as the manufacturing of products in semiconductor, biotechnology, and. other industries. However, measuring monolayers and functionalized surfaces directly is. difficult, and many rely on a variety of characterization techniques that when used together can provide some degree of confidence. By combining non-contact atomic force microscopy (AFM) and IR spectroscopy, IR PiFM provides sensitive and accurate analysis of sub-monolayer of molecules without the concern of tip-sample cross contamination. Dr. Sung Park, Molecular Vista, joined Spectroscopy to provide insights on how IR PiFM can acquire IR signature of monolayer films due to its unique implementation.

Elena Hagemann, Product Manager for Process Spectroscopy at Metrohm USA, discusses a novel synchronized, automatic calibration data collector. This system eliminates the laborious calibration process of prediction model development without manual sampling. This capability allows moisture measurement systems to be calibrated at the factory down to approximately 7 ppm and to be installed in pipelines and reactors without additional calibration effort.
