Identifying Textiles with Extended-Range NIR Spectroscopy
February 7th 2020A compact, MEMS-based, single-photodetector NIR device, the NanoQuest, is used to distinguish different types of textiles. Using a MEMS-based NIR device to identify materials Delivering spectral solutions for a safer and cleaner world
A Robust, High Performance, Revolutionary Demountable ICP Torch
February 1st 2020Glass Expansion designed and patented the D-Torch, a revolutionary, demountable torch. The D-Torch uses high-precision engineering to provide the benefits of a demountable torch, such as lower running costs, chemical inertness, and configurable injector geometry, without compromising usability, performance, or durability. In this report, we discuss the effects of harsh matrices on torches, as well as the features, benefits, and improvements in analysis achieved with the D-Torch.
A Corrosive Liquid Investigated by Diamond ATR Infrared Spectroscopy
February 1st 2020Because of their corrosive properties, corrosive lipids are challenging to analyze by ATR-FT-IR. Repeated and prolonged analysis can damage many ATR crystals. Diamond ATR is a better choice for such applications than other ATR crystal materials like ZnSe and Ge. This application note examines a corrosive liquid as it becomes progressively more concentrated using diamond ATR.
Bioreactor Fermentation Monitoring with Raman Spectroscopy
February 1st 2020Raman spectroscopy’s high analytical selectivity and insensitivity to water is well suited for process monitoring in biotechnology. Here we explore the fermentation of glucose, a common feedstock, with a commonly used microorganism, yeast. Applying multivariate tools, we can monitor the main reactants and products with high sensitivity: glucose, ethanol, and carbon dioxide.
QTRam for Content Uniformity Analysis of Low-Dose Pharmaceutical Tablets
February 1st 2020Compressed tablet is the most common form of orally administered drug. The United States Pharmacopeia (USP) chapter <905> requires that dosage uniformity of such products containing less than 25 mg or less than 25% active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) by weight must be analyzed for content uniformity, which is based on the assay of each API in a number of individual dosage units.
Tracking Photocuring via ATR-FT-IR with Illumination through the ATR Element
February 1st 2020The utility of the GladiATR diamond ATR, modified with an internal liquid light guide to illuminate the sample from underneath the ATR element, was explored to analyze the photo-polymerization of carbitol acrylate at 405 nm using 1 wt% TPO.
