Fast and Simple Material Identification of Plastic Debris Using FTIR Spectrometry
April 10th 2024During the invention, development, and early production phases of synthetic plastics, only small quantities were produced, and dealing with waste-plastic was relatively controllable. Over the last few decades, however, plastic production has been growing faster than the production of any other materials. Nowadays, an estimated 400 million tons of plastic waste is produced every year, and a large portion of this waste ends up in the natural environment.
5 Ground-Breaking Uses of ICP-QQQ
April 4th 2024In the years since Agilent released the first triple quadrupole inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer (ICP-QQQ), the company’s instruments have been used for several novel applications. Case studies at Ghent University and an interview with Source Certain help demonstrate the full potential of this technology.
Why Source Certain chose Agilent elemental analysis instruments
March 19th 2024Source Certain use both Agilent ICP-MS (single and triple quadrupole versions) and Agilent ICP-OES instruments. Source Certain have six Agilent atomic spectroscopy instruments in their new state-of-the-art lab. Their new 8900 ICP-QQQ is allowing them to see things they have never seen before in the samples, with some detection limits at parts-per-quadrillion levels.
Why use Agilent ICP-OES instruments?
March 19th 2024Source has been using Agilent equipment since 2010, so selecting another Agilent instrument was an easy choice. They currently have three Agilent ICP-OES instruments from three different generations, the 700 series, a 5110, and the most recent a 5900, all with autosamplers.
Accuracy, reliability, quick turnaround
March 12th 2024AgSource analyzes from 2,000 to 6,000 samples in a day, depending on the time of the year. Accuracy is critical for AgSource. Time and time again, they want to be as accurate as possible and be able to reproduce that accuracy with those same samples that come in over time.
Food authenticity and provenance testing
March 12th 2024Product origin and production claims, like sustainable and ethical sourcing, are vital information for consumers. It’s not just the product that matters anymore but also the promise. These promises are becoming as important, in some situations, more important than price and other product features.
Agilent ICP-OES for Advanced Elemental Analysis of Sodium-Ion Battery Cathode Materials
March 1st 2024The Agilent 5800 ICP-OES can simplify the determination of elemental impurities in sodium-ion battery cathode materials, a part of the workflow becoming increasingly necessary as the rechargeable battery industry grows.

A Practical Guide To Elemental Analysis of Lithium Ion Battery Materials Utilizing ICP-OES
May 26th 2023The lithium battery industry requires the analysis of the elemental composition of materials along the value chain, but elemental analysis of samples across the battery material supply chain is challenging for ICP-based analytical techniques
Microplastics analysis just got easier: Analysis direct on-filter
November 16th 2022North America: Wednesday, November 16, 2022 at 11am PST | 1pm CST | 2pm EST Europe: Thursday, November 17, 2022, at 11am BST | 12pm CET Asia: Thursday, November 17, 2022, at 10:30 IST | 1pm SGT | 2pm JST | 4pm AEST Fast, easy, and accurate analysis of microplastics is a key need of anyone with an interest in this area. With the capacity to conduct this analysis directly on the filter in the Agilent 8700 LDIR for microplastics, this analysis has now reached a new level.
