In this video segment, Anika Retzmann explains how developing fully automated analyte purification procedures helps improve data quality and reproducibility compared to traditional approaches.

The 2026 James L. Waters Annual Symposium at Pittcon will focus on the integration of generative AI into analytical chemistry, examining how large language models and AI tools can support method development, data analysis, and chemical measurement while maintaining scientific rigor, validation, and interpretability. Continuing its decades-long tradition of connecting historical perspective with emerging technologies, the symposium will feature presentations from leading chemists and spectroscopists, highlighting both the opportunities and challenges of responsibly incorporating AI into chemical measurement science.

In this article, we illustrate how automated calibration systems and sophisticated algorithms are transforming chemical data into actionable knowledge.

In this edition of “Inside the Laboratory,” Martin Resano, a Coordinator of the Rapid Analysis Methods with Spectroscopic Techniques (MARTE) group and as part of the Aragon Institute for Engineering Research (I3A) at the University of Zaragoza, discusses how compressed sensing spectroscopic techniques are used in his laboratory.

At the Winter Conference on Plasma Spectrochemistry, Spiros Pergantis, an analytical chemist and Professor of Analytical Chemistry at the University of Crete, sat down with Spectroscopy to discuss his group’s current research endeavors.

In this video segment, Sarah Theiner of Nu Instruments reflects on winning the Emerging Leader in Atomic Spectroscopy Award, explaining what winning the award means to her.

In the first part of our interview with Ken Marcus of Clemson University, he discusses what he enjoys about the Winter Conference on Plasma Spectrochemistry. Marcus also dives into his research and how the instrumentation his group uses allows for better separation of isobars without the need for chemical intervention, enhancing the accuracy of mass spectrometry (MS) readings.

In this video segment, Spiros Pergantis of the University of Crete discusses the supportive and tightly-knit nature of the spectroscopy community, which was evident at the Winter Conference on Plasma Spectrochemistry.

Researchers explored near-infrared spectroscopy (NIR) spectroscopy as a fast, noninvasive, and portable alternative for chemical warfare agent detection, addressing limitations of existing on-site analytical methods. Spectroscopy spoke to Jelle C. de Koning, corresponding author of the paper resulting from this work

Hunter Andrews, an R&D Staff Scientist at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, discusses how other analytical approaches, such as mass spectrometry (MS), chemometrics, and electrochemistry, can help contribute to building better monitoring systems.

Patrick Parsons of the New York State Department of Health reflects on the ongoing challenges and future opportunities where X-ray fluorescence (XRF) instruments can be used to test food matrices.

In this video segment, Anika Retzmann of the University of Calgary discusses how analyzing elemental and stable metal isotopic compositions of biological systems help answer fundamentally different research questions across fields such as biomedicine and environmental science.
