Application Notes

This application note describes a correlative Raman–scanning electron microscope (SEM) investigation of a lithium-ion battery cathode before and after hundreds of charge cycles. The technique provides an exceptionally detailed chemical and structural analysis of degradation processes on the nanoscale.

Using an automated FT-IR reflection sampling accessory, the surface of a polymer-coated aluminum film was analyzed. Spectral results were used to investigate chemical uniformity across the sample area.

This application note demonstrates using ATR to examine the changes in surface orientation as a function of the distance from the injection point or gate.

Evaluating a fully demountable torch for semivolatiles using the Agilent 5800 RV ICP-OES.

The Mox 140 kV X-ray source weighs less than 1900 grams and runs at 7 Watts X-ray tube power. Applications include X-ray spectroscopy, backscatter, and X-ray imaging.

A new generation of SERS substrates combines the convenience of SERS substrates with the reproducibility of SERS performed in a solution, with a hybrid approach.

Counterfeit goods cost businesses and consumers billions annually. Spectroscopy authenticates products by identifying spectral differences in substandard materials.

Since antigens tested for quantity of attenuated or devitalized viruses or bacteria often consist of proteins, analytical quantification of total protein is a method of choice.

We introduce a very compact, air-cooled, pulsed laser and show it can be used successfully in conventional LIBS experimental set-ups for identifying metals.

Prepare solid and liquid samples with TXRF. Ideal for ultra-trace elements at sub-ppm levels due to the optical configuration, which results in low-background noise.

Catalyst-free high-temperature combustion and highly sensitive HiPerSens® detection allows the detection of nitrogen at concentrations from 15 µg/l up to 10,000 mg/l.

This application note explores how SERS-active nanoparticles can be used to identify thiram and other pesticides on fruit.

BaySpec works with customers to design and manufacture OEM systems that range from hyperspectral to UV-vis-NIR engines, and from detectors to light sources, and more.

In this application note, we describe how Raman spectroscopy and related optical sensing techniques are effective for discriminating natural from artificial gemstones.

In this application note, we use a high-sensitivity Ocean Insight spectrometer to generate a standard curve for bovine serum albumin (BSA).

In this overview, we explore optical sensing tools available for virus detection, with a focus on rapid testing and screening for viruses including COVID-19.

Brochure highlights Ocean Insight’s application capabilities, with examples from characterization of paint properties to monitoring of lens material curing processes.

In this application note, we use a Raman spectrometer to measure the curing rate of an epoxy as a model for monitoring the kinetics reaction of industrial processes.

In this application note, we report how a high-resolution spectrometer monitors changes in argon emission after gases are added to a closed-reaction plasma chamber.
