Blood-Glucose Testing: AI and FT-IR Claim Improved Accuracy to 98.8%
February 3rd 2025A research team is claiming significantly enhanced accuracy of non-invasive blood-glucose testing by upgrading Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) with multiple-reflections, quantum cascade lasers, two-dimensional correlation spectroscopy, and machine learning. The study, published in Spectrochimica Acta Part A, reports achieving a record-breaking 98.8% accuracy, surpassing previous benchmarks for non-invasive glucose detection.
Best of the Week: Microplastics in U.S. Seafood, Tea Classification, Artificial Intelligence
January 31st 2025Top articles published this week include a video interview that explores quantifying microplastics and anthropogenic particles in seafood, an interview discussing how spectroscopy can assess salmon freshness, and a news article about using near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy in classifying tea.
Quantifying Microplastics and Anthropogenic Particles in Marine and Aquatic Environments
January 30th 2025Spectroscopy recently sat down with Elise Granek, Susanne Brander, and Summer Traylor to discuss their recent study quantifying microplastics (MPs) and anthropogenic particles (APs) in the edible tissues of black rockfish, lingcod, Chinook salmon, Pacific herring, Pacific lamprey, and pink shrimp.
